PREFACE 

This little book is ready with its message. 

"I am Acredios. ' ' So this noble spirit an- 
nounced himself to Mary Alice Mortensen 
in the presence of Elf rieda Neville and de- 
livered his first message. This first, second 
and third messages are set down from mem- 
ory, as the recipients were unprepared to 
record them when received. 

The balance are faithfully set down by 
Elf rieda Neville, just as they were given by 
Acredios through his control of the medium, 
and to whom he appeared as a command- 
ing figure draped in a robe of pure white 
reaching to the feet, with the folds draped 
over the left shoulder, his features were 
strong and clean cut, the rather long dark, 
almost black hair swept back revealing a 
high fine forehead When giving his last 
message he appeared wearing a narrow 
braid of silver bound about his brow. His 
eyes were large, lustrous and seemingly 
dark in color. The hand revealed clasping 
the folds of his robe was strong and very 
white and the fore finger of the left hand 



ACREDIOS 



bore a heavy ring of shining metal. The 
bare feet were strapped in sandals- 

Acredios is without doubt a Master 
Spirit, a soul that has perfected himself 
through many incarnations, and by the love 
force was drawn back to again come in 
touch with mortals. 

At the time the messages were received 
both the medium and recorder were sitting 
for development in classes taught by the 
Rev. Loe F. Elmore. 

The mate referred to in messages is the 
recorder and who has during her entire life 
been strangely conscious of an "unseen 
presence that walked beside''; also has a 
hazy recollection of strange happenings not 
of the present life. 

It must be understood that neither the 
medium nor the recorder or any other per- 
son makes any claim to the authorship of 
these " Messages from the Council Cham- 
ber." 

The messages are self explanatory, and 
may they do their part in bringing Love, 
Peace and Harmony to the weary children 
of the world. 



MESSAGE NO. 1 

I am Acredios. Do you not know me, my 
beloved? Do you not remember when we 
were together in Athens'? Do you not re- 
member how we were torn asunder in 
Athens, after which I became one of the 
priesthood and you a Vestal Virgin? My 
beloved, do you not know me? Do you not 
remember how a hundrd years later we died 
together in the streets of Rome ? Oh, my be- 
loved, I am thine as you are mine. 

I have gone on before you and am waiting 
for you in a mansion not built by hands. I 
have watched over you and have seen you 
in your greatest sorrow and unhappiness, 
and have helped you when you needed me 
most. I am speaking thru this Medium be- 
cause of the affinity between you. My be- 
loved, I go but will come again. 



MESSAGE NO. 2. 

Good evening, my beloved. I have come 
again to talk to you. I am Acredios. I have 
come to tell you more. My heart was in- 
deed heavy when in Athens; I stood by the 
Temple and watched them carry you out on 
thy white bier covered with the whitest of 
flowers. My beloved, my grief was great 
as with a broken heart I again returned to 
Priesthood to live in loneliness tfntil that 
day came for me when I, too, followed you. 
That awful day, the blood was flowing and 
covered my garment as would the stain of 
wine. My beloved, I go but I will come 
again and tell you more. 



MESSAGE NO. 3. 

And now, my beloved, warfare is upon us 
and tomorrow will see the chariots hurry- 
ing thru our beautiful city. You know the 
weakness of our people — but I will strive 
to guard you. Tomorrow will see bloodshed 
and sorrow. Soon the mighty horde will 
march down upon us and trample our beau- 
tiful city with their chariots. My heart 
aches that one so young as you (only a bud) 
should see the carnage and warfare that is 
upon us. I pray for thy safety, for they 
must not harm you. Gladly I would tear 
down the walls of our mighty city to save 
you. I cannot hold my Medium longer, but 
will come again. 



MESSAGE NO. 4. 

Oh, my beloved, where are you? I have 
searched our city over to find you; have you 
taken flight with the refugees on to Alex- 
andria, or are you hiding in our city'? 
Where are you? Where have you gone? 
My God! My beloved, I see you — I have 
found you — Oh .... (A terrible scream 
from the Medium — a pause, then another 
scream.) My God, they have thrown the 
javelin and have killed you. You fall, you 
are dead! 



MESSAGE NO. 5. 

Good evening, my beloved. By the power 
of my great love for you I am able for a 
time to draw your soul close to mine. (Ex- 
plaining a vision the writer had expe- 
rienced but a few moments before.) It is 
true, we were together in spirit on the wide 
desert, under the starry heavens, in the far 
away land of Egypt, which I call my play- 
ground, and to that place I go for quietude 
and meditation, not finding the planes over 
your earth cities harmonious. 

It is with great effort and the kindly as- 
sistance of a great chemist and high guide 
that I could take you with me, my beloved, 
but we were never re-incarnated in Egypt. 
Last evening I left you lying dead in the 
streets of Rome, and I, bleeding from my 
death wounds, from which I, too, passed on 
breathing a prayer that I might meet you 
soon again. Good night, I will come again. 

In answer to questions asked of Acredios 
— Are you a teacher? he answered "No-" 
Are you a guide? again he answered "No." 
Are you a Master, YES. How long have 
you been with me? Nineteen years. Have 



12 ACREDIOS 



you seen the great Master Christ! YES. 
What can I do to be worthy of you? You 
are already worthy, else I would not have 
come to thee. Your mistakes and strivings 
have been lessons and beneficial to you. 
Then to him I said — I look upon you as a 
God. He replied: I am no God, but a 
Master, one sent as a message bearer to 
you, my soul-mate. 

Will I ever be controlled by you? Yes, 
my desire is to control you and prove my 
thanks and gratitude to the medium for 
allowing me to come to you, my beloved, 
thru her. 

It is my reward for the help I am giving 
others. 

If my medium were not so near the astral 
it would be impossible for me to reach you. 
I am watching over you and caring for you 
and will come to you as often as the medium 
can be controlled. Good night. 



MESSAGE NO. 6. 

My beloved, I will speak slowly that you 
may get all of my message. In the city 
of Hamburg in the 17th century, relgious 
fanaticism was at its height; and I, a priest 
of the church, was the most fanatical of all. 
In our city there arose a belief of the possi- 
bility of communion with the dead. The 
church was frightened and knew it must 
crush this thing; and those who were found 
to believe in and forward this belief were 
persecuted and destroyed. The Mother 
Church was condemning to the right and 
left. They were burned at the stake and 
put on racks. All that embraced this doc- 
trine were known as heretics. That day 
when twelve were gathered together to be 
burned, among them was a young maid now 
more than willing to die for her faith. I 
was the executor, my hard hand must set 
the fire to the funeral pyre. 

When I came to her and knelt at her feet 
to kindle the fire, I looked into her face and 
I knew that it was you. 

Oh, the maddening grief of it all; that my 
hand should send you forth again, and I 



U ACREDIOS 



must go my way alone. The days and nights 
went by, but they could not wipe from my 
heart that tragic event. Then one evening 
when my brow had grown gray with sor- 
row, you came to me that night as I now 
come to you, and I then knew that the faith 
you had stood for was true, and the event 
of material life and death did not end all. 
You are mine and I am thine and I shall 
communicate with you from now on. You 
are the one thing in material life that has 
drawn me back to the earth plane. Your 
coming to me in that past age allowed me 
to pass out in peace, and proved to me for 
the first time that life is eternal. I will 
come again. 



MESSAGE NO. 7. 

I have been very busy since last we met 
preparing the mansion that will some day 
be ours. I have been going to and fro over 
the spirit plane gathering the thought forms 
of the greatest artists and of flowers most 
beautiful that grow in the Spirit World. I 
have gathered thought forms of composers 
of music. I have gathered these forms so 
rare and beautiful that they could not be 
given to the people of the Earth plane. I 
have gathered thought forms for beautiful 
marbles too rare for human conception. I 
have caught and remoulded the scentillat- 
ing light of the most beautiful jewels. I 
have moulded and reset them in spiritual 
perfection and they shall be yours. My 
medium is not acting well tonight. I dare 
not yet control you. I have been unable to 
find out where our souls dwelt between our 
past incarnations. I mean the time between 
our incarnations in Athens and Rome or 
the space of time between our meeting in 
Hamburg. As it is veiled from me, our 
souls must have been parted. I know not 
the name they called you, but you have al- 



16 ACREDIOS 



ways been my beloved to me. I have striven 
to show you the beauties of that which is 
to come, and will be, and as you strive to 
lift yourself toward the spiritual and come 
more in rapport with me I will many times 
take you out thru the Gates of Day into 
that realm of Spiritual perfection that you 
know not of. Good night. 



MESSAGE NO. 8. 

Good evening, my beloved. I must carry 
you back to that night in Hamburg. When 
I passed from earth consciousness to soul 
consciousness I awoke in my narrow cell in 
the monastery to find my body lying stiff 
and cold upon a slab of stone, yet I was liv- 
ing, pacing back and forth in that narrow 
cell. Suddenly I became conscious that I 
had passed thru the wall of my cell into 
that of my neighbor's. I looked down upon 
his body, but I realized that he was breath- 
ing in his body. I went from cell to cell, 
visitijng each brother, and some of them 
stirred in their sleep as if troubled. Sud- 
denly I found myself away out in space 
alone. Beneath me I could see the lights of 
our city. Then they, too, seemed to disap- 
pear in mist, and I was out in unlimited 
space alone with a loneliness that a mortal 
can have no conception of. 

It seemed that I went on for days. The 
way grew darker and darker, and I seemed 
to be sinking down into the very abyss of 
despair, when suddenly there appeared at 
my side a majestic figure, robed in white, 



18 ACRE BIOS 



and he said to me: "I am the Representa- 
tive of that Christ that hangs crucified on 
your monastary walls. What has been your 
Service to me?" "I have prayed majuy 
prayers," I answered. "Have you healed 
the sick?" I was speechless, for I had not. 
Again he questioned: "Have you fed the 
hungry?" I bowed my head, for I had not. 
"Have you gone forth to lift up the fallen 
of the world ? " I had not. ' ' Have you con- 
demned your fellow men?" I had, even to 
the extent of burning pure souls at the 
stake. Yet in spite of it all, he looked down 
with compassion upon me and asked me 
what I now desired. I replied, above all, 
that I might serve the Master Christ, and 
realize that I was being of service and that 
I might with my service wipe out the mis- 
deeds and transgressions committed while 
incarnate upon earth. 

"Then come with me," and he led me 
thru the gates of a city. It seemed to be 
the dwelling place of the most unhappy 
souls. I heard much weeping. I saw many 
souls going to and fro as if searching for 
some one whom they had lost, and were un- 
able to come in contact with. I can hold my 
medium no longer. Good-night. 



MESSAGE NO. 9. 

And as we went thru the gates of that 
city, we were met by a throng of frightened 
souls. From whence do they come, I asked. 
They have only at this moment made en- 
trance into the city; they passed out from 
a shipwreck off the coast of Sicily. They 
were mad with grief, and it seemed almost 
impossible to pacify them. A poor mother 
was rushing to and fro, crying for her chil- 
dren. A young husband was searching for 
his wife, and an old man searched for his 
gold. "This is your hour of service, " said 
the white figure at my side, and I knew not 
what to do, I understood neither pity nor 
love, my soul seemed as empty as a drained 
wine cup. I could not even weep. I searched 
for the crucifix that hung at my girdle, that 
it might give me consolation, but it was gone. 
Then I saw at my feet the huddled form of 
a little child, and I gathered it up thinking 
to wrap my robe about it that it might be 
warmed. As the little form was held against 
my breast, my cold heart seemed to warm 
with compassion. I heard these words: 
"Suffer the little children to come unto 



20 ACREDIOS 



me." I raised my eyes to the face of my 
guide. He was smiling, and then he left me. 
Verily the days in that city were to me 
busy days. I was no longer bound by 
church creedalism. My soul was beginning 
to rejoice in its freedom. I was beginning 
to love and to understand and to suffer in 
a compassionate way. The souls that I was 
working among were very close to the earth 
plane, and the impress of their passing 
seemed to hang around them. My medium 
is slipping from me. 



MESSAGE NO 10. 

Good-evening, my beloved. The message 
that I give to you tonight is a very personal 
one. My beloved, when the Great Intelli- 
gence endowed you with the gift of Med- 
iumship, you were expected by the Great 
Master to stand as a minister upon the 
earth. So far you have lacked confidence 
in yourself, but have you not confidence in 
me, my beloved, and the forces that I am 
able to draw around joul Here am I on 
this side of life doing my work as a minister 
of truth and you upon the earth must do 
your work that you may come en rapport 
with me. ' I am not chiding you, I am only 
trying to make you realize the greatness of 
thy ministry, and again let me say to you, 
"Keep ever before you the Life and Ex- 
ample of the Master Christ." Souls do not 
realize until they come out to this side of 
life how great was the mission of this, the 
Greatest Leader of modern times. Verily 
he opened the gates of Eternal Life and put 
Death under His feet. He is indeed the Way, 
the Truth and the Life. I am impressing 
this upon you because of its great import- 



22 ACREDIOS 



ance. You, who are Mediums, working on 
your side of life, are the earth rungs upon 
which souls must climb, and you must not 
be found broken. So I ask you for the love 
and confidence that I give to you, to begin 
your work now, knowing that I and the 
Forces will uphold you. My Medium is 
sleeping. 



MESSAGE NO. 11. 

My beloved, I dwelt within these city 
walls for more than a century (as you count 
time). I realized by the coming of Souls 
from the Earth plane that the Light must 
be breaking in the stagnant darkness that 
covered the Earth during my last incarna- 
tion. My Soul Consciousness was growing 
brighter and I was almost happy, but I real- 
ized as not before that my Soul was not 
complete. I was filled with a loneliness that 
can scarcely be described. While I had been 
allowed to go out to other Planes, and see 
many other phases of Soul expression, I had 
but once been allowed to visit the Earth 
plane. That time I was led into the Council 
Chambers of a great and mighty Church. I 
heard them betraying humanity. I listened 
to their plotting against the Truth, and I 
stood there trying to plead with them, 
trying to impress them with the awful 
crime they were committing against God 
Almighty, A Loving Father. But in that 
great number of Priests there was but one 
who was impressed. He was an old ma& 
and arose and slowly left the Council Cham- 



U ACREDIOS 



ber. I followed him out to his lonely cell. 
He bowed his gray head, clasped his with- 
ered hands and prayed: " Father, forgive 
us, for we know not what we do." I returned 
to my City and met new arrivals, among 
them a gray haired woman who had been 
burned as a heretic. I knelt at her feet and 
cried out in my grief. Surely no Soul could 
have suffered more for deeds done in the 
body. When I arose I found my Guide be- 
side me (the one who had brought me to 
this City) . He bid me come with him. We 
went again to the Earth, to the vine-clad 
hills of France. It was evening, the herds 
were coming home through the long, shady 
lanes, the sun was striking across the peace- 
ful valleys, the echo of the Vesper-bells still 
hung on the air. We came to a white cot- 
tage, surrounded with roses, and there in 
the door with a lapful of flowers, sat a 
young maid. My Guide had left me, and I 
stood aloof by her unconscious side, and I 
knew she too knew I was there for I saw 
her soft eyes grow dark with dreams. My 
beloved, you again. My Medium is tired. 
My beloved, from that golden summer even- 
ing I seemed to be free. The barriers 
that had separated me from the earth plane 
were broken down. I could come and go as 



THE VEIL LIFTED 25_ 

I desired. Oh, the hours that I spent with 
you, watching over your tender woman- 
hood. You were the gayest of the gay, a 
laughing, happy maid, among others that 
were equally as happy, and yet often you 
came to me, down thru the cool green 
orchard to sit beside the cool clear water. 
You would sit in absolute silence, with your 
hands clasped idly, with a look of wonder 
in your dark eyes. You did not realize that 
one who had loved you from the beginning 
of Time was there beside you. 

And then another came, a tall young 
lover, who wooed you with all the fire of the 
blood of France. You were disturbed and 
dissatisfied. You loved him with a material 
love, but you knew your Soul did not belong 
to him. You used to come to our meeting 
place, fling yourself down upon the grass 
and there weep long and pitifully. I strove 
to comfort you, but could not. One day I 
came to find you stitching upon your wed- 
ding garments. Often I stood by your side 
during those long dreamy hours and often 
I saw your tears fall upon the white robes. 

Then one day again the tocsin of war rang 
thru sunny Prance, and I saw your tall, 
fine young lover march away to die upon 
the battle-fields. And then came the in- 



26 ACREDIOS 



vaders, and sword and famine swept over 
Brittany. Winter saw you fading. And 
again I saw you wrapped in your winding 
sheet, and it was I who stood by your side 
when your Soul left the body. Oh, what 
joy when I led you forth, when you were to 
be mine, but that glorious reunion that I 
had planned was so short lived. As I led 
you out into the Realm of Spirit, we met a 
white Angel from a faraway Star. Taking 
your hand, she said to me: "Not yet, your 
work is not finished, and her experience in 
life is not yet rounded out; she must live 
the full experience of the Earth plane be- 
fore she can come to you." And I saw you 
go from me again. My Medium is so tired. 



MESSAGE NO. 12. 

My beloved, I come to you tonight direct- 
ly from the Temple of Truth. Let the things 
I say to you burn upon your heart in letters 
of fire. First, I will say to you, that the 
greatest power in the Universe is the power 
of Love. This Universal Love is unselfish 
and selfless. There is no sacrifice that hu- 
manity can make, that will receive a greater 
reward than thinking of and serving thy 
fellow man. Love is the basic principle of 
Universal expression. God is Love: there- 
fore feel deeply your responsibility as a 
Medium, and by the power of that Love, 
command the Dead to come forth, as did the 
Christ bid Lazareth to stand again before 
the face of Man, and prove to a doubting 
world that Life is and Death is not. What 
mission could be higher and nobler than 
this? And I command you by the bond of 
Love that is between us, that you take up 
Thy work faithfully and trustingly, that 
you may sooner become en rapport with me. 
I do not know how much longer we will be 
able to use this Medium, therefore make 
yourself ready, by every means at your 



28 ACREDIOS 



command. Know that you yourself are 
nothing but a willing instrument through 
whom these great forces must work. Have 
no fear, know the forces I command are 
around you and with you. Have faith in 
me, my beloved, have faith. Oh, I will be 
glad when I can lead you onward nad up- 
ward expanding and unfolding your Soul, 
Until nothing shall be known to you but 
Love and its power. There is one even 
greater than I that will soon be working 
through this Medium. But I shall never 
leave her entirely, because thru her our 
Souls have again been allowed to meet. 
Oh, my beloved, do you realize what this 
means? Two pure Souls meeting in pure 
rapture with the stain of every material 
thing burned out by the purity of our Love. 
I know it is hard for me to make you to 
understand, even in the smallest part, the 
rapturous joy of Soul Love. I am hold- 
ing my Medium so long tonight that it is 
perfect torture to her, but I realize I must 
get these thoughts through to you. So, I go. 
Good-night. 



MESSAGE NO. 13. 

My beloved, we have just received a mes- 
sage from the Higher Spheres. Several of 
the workers here, myself among them, have 
been called upon for some particular work. 
We are like soldiers under marching orders. 
Our mission is to obey. I do not know if we 
will visit the Earth plane or that we are to 
be sent to some other Sphere of Activity. 
But I know that when we are sent upon 
these missions we are very busy, and are not 
permitted to divide our attentions, so, my 
beloved, do not grieve nor lose confidence in 
me if I do not come soon again. I do not 
know whence I go, nor how long I shall 
stay, neither do I know if I will be returned 
to this particular Sphere. But this I do 
know, that the Great-Loving-God that made 
us all will not separate us again for any 
length of time. Your Spiritual unfoldment 
makes our separation impossible. When I 
return from the mission I am to perform I 
shall impress this Medium so strongly that 
she will be compelled to sit, however busy 
she may be. Now, my beloved, keep faith 
with me and do not for one moment forget 



30 ACREDIOS 



that you are endowed with mediumistic 
powers and have your work to do. Remem- 
ber that there are Evil forces upon this side 
of Life that will strive to hold you in bond- 
age of fear were it possible. Oh, be of good 
cheer and courage and know I do not leave 
you unprotected. I have won my way to a 
position here, that gives me power and au- 
thority over forces that I can use for your 
help and protection. I am not speaking 
from a sense of pride, but from humbleness 
and thankfulness, glad that I was able to 
work out my salvation and that I might by 
the deeds done on this side of Life wipe out 
the misdeeds done on that Side. It is only 
through the tender love of that great Intelli- 
gence that we are thus permitted and given 
a chance to try again and again, and are in- 
stilled with that desire that leads us onward 
and upward in our Soul's progression, and 
still the bond of Love is not broken and we 
are permitted to go back to those we love 
and lead them in wisdom and give them 
encouragement. Now I go and the Peace 
of Christ be with you until I come again. 
Thank the Medium. 



MESSAGE NO. 14. 

My beloved, I greet you again tonight 
and am glad to return to you. My mission 
has been a strange one, but very beautiful. 
Your earth in its evolution has now reached 
a high place in the arc of progression. No 
longer does she roll through a fog of dark- 
ness, but she is at last entering the Light, 
thrown from that great Dynamic Center of 
the Universe, which we in our ignorance on 
the earth plane strove to call and believed 
to be a personal God. But this Light is not 
God as we were once taught. We knew Him 
as a great Personage away upon a white 
throne, judging, in wrathful judgment, ig- 
norant humanity. But it is the light that 
lights the Universe and the Principle and 
Essence of all good. Into this great Light 
your little Terrestrial ball called Earh is 
now being flung. And therefore upon the 
Earth plane is coming a Spiritual awaken- 
ing, such has never been before. But the 
seed of this great awakening must be 
planted and cultivated by those knowing 
Souls out in the Realms of Spirit, who have 
gathered their knowledge through expe- 



32 ACREDIOS 



rience and sufferings through their many 
lives upon the Earth plane. The night that 
I left you before, my beloved, I was sent to 
the heart of India, high up in the Hyma- 
layas, far from the haunts of men. Seven 
Sages, wise in occult teachings, had gath- 
ered together for prayer and meditations. 
There was one among them a Soul like unto 
the Medium I hold here, one who was near 
the Astral, and it was my mission to go to 
him and implant on his entranced mind this 
great Light, that comes forth from the old- 
est teachings known to man, springing forth 
with a greater force than ever before. I 
have been there entrancing and speaking 
through this man, and forth out of India 
shall come a new Spiritual flame. While I 
was upon this Holy Mission, imparting to 
this human consciousness these things that 
I had brought from the far Realm of Spirit, 
others of the great Brotherhood were scat- 
tered about various points of the Earth. 
They were lighting little fires here and 
there. These fires will cause a conflagra- 
tion of Spiritual flames that will do much 
to burn out the Material, before the end of 
the century. Each one as we finished our 
mission returned to a sphere high in the 
Realm of Spirit. One by one we came in, 



THE VEIL LIFTED S3 

each bringing our experience and our re- 
port. Two from India, One from Berlin, 
One from London, One from New York, 
being present at a little Spiritual Meeting 
there and imparted through a Medium 
things that had never before been spoken 
except by tongues of Angels. Oh, my be- 
loved, you can not thank sufficiently the 
Great Intelligence for having even a grain 
of Mediumship. For ye are indeed the salt 
of the earth, who have kept alive in the 
hearts of men, the seed of Truth, that has 
made this great Spiritual Awakening pos- 
sible. I will come again. Good-night. 



Message No. 15 

A Joyous Reunion in Spirit Life 



MESSAGE NO. 15. 

I am here again, my beloved. When last 
I parted from you I was caught away to 
higher spheres than I had ever before 
worked. My Mission became that in which 
I must meet the more intellectual, coming 
from your Earth plane, those out of whom 
church customs and creedalism could not 
crush the Living spark of God self. I shall 
now tell you of one of our recent expe- 
riences, with one of those noble Souls of 
the Earth life, who had unfolded to a very 
high point of Soul Expression, but had be- 
come caught in the net of Material Love; so 
for her Soul's sake the higher powers took 
her beloved, into the higher spheres. This 
was a terrible experience to her and she 
came near drowning her Soul in grief. Her 
loved one was at work on this side and could 
only go to her for very short periods. She 
went to and fro over the earth seeking con- 
solation and communion. At last the body 
became so frail and worn from her grief 
that her Soul went forth, and I with one 
other went to the borderland to meet that 
Soul. It was the very personification of 



ACREDIOS 



grief. So sorrowful had she been that her 
Astral entity was robed in black. We 
brought her forth to these Celestial planes 
and strove to awaken her Soul to the con- 
sciousness of beauty and truth. We led her 
through paths of beauty, we showed her the 
wonders of our Celestial flowers, but she 
only bathed them with her tears. After we 
had made every effort to bring her Soul 
forth from the darkness of sorrow we called 
those in the realm above us to come to our 
assistance. How tenderly and compassion- 
ately those white Angels came down to us! 
They bid her lie down upon a couch and 
sleep. And when she became awake her 
dark robes were gone; she was clothed in 
shimmering silver. Her face was transfig- 
ured with a heavenly beauty. She stood 
for a moment silent, as if listening, and then 
went forth so swiftly that we could scarce 
follow her. On and on she went, fast as 
thought, until we came to the dwelling 
place of him that she loved. Oh, my be- 
loved, I cannot find expression to tell you 
the beauty of that meeting. The very air 
seemed vibrant with Love and Joy, as he 
knelt there holding her silver garment 
against his face, and she calling over and 
over his beloved name. And we went and 



THE VEIL LIFTED 39 

left them alone together, with a great gol- 
den light of love shining around them. 
These are the meetings we are often per- 
mitted to see. I will tell you she was a 
poetess who has passed but recently from 
your earth plane. I am telling you this so 
you will realize the meeting we too shall 
have, and now go to your church and pray 
for the world as you never prayed before. 
Good-bye. 



Message No. 16 

Mediums are Spiritual Gate Keepers 
to the Spirit Realms 



MESSAGE NO. 16. 

Good evening, my beloved. I know that 
you have been filled with longing, wonder- 
ing why I did not visit you more often, but 
I am at the present time commander of a 
band of Spirit helpers, that are hovering 
over the Southern border of your land. 
There is some great event about to take place 
upon your Earth plane. You recognize 
yourself the great restlessness that is now 
touching the hearts of the people of the 
Earth plane. You find your own heart cry- 
ing out for you know not what. The Astral 
plane about you is quite as much disturbed 
as is the Earth plane. For some reason, I 
cannot tell you what, both good and evil 
forces are gathering around your Earth 
plane. Hosts of Angel helpers are descend- 
ing from the higher spheres. While from 
the depths of the darker planes, hosts of 
darker entities. It is these darker entities 
that your sensitives feel. They are placing 
an imprint of restlessness upon the world. 
They seem to be gathering their forces for 
a final combat. What the result will be 
upon your Earth plane I cannot say. But I 
will say that you Mediums must fight 



AC RED I OS 



against these evil forces, with all the power 
at your command. Bearing ever in mind 
that you are the Spiritual gate keepers to 
the Spiritual Realms. Stand fast, be of 
good cheer, call ever upon your Angel help- 
ers, keep your minds pure and listen ever 
to those inspirational voices that come from 
the high realm of Spirit. This disturbance or 
upheaval upon your Earth plane is in part 
caused by your position at the present time 
in the arc of progression. The White Light 
from the higher spheres is beginning to 
light the darkness surrounding your earth 
as it progresses toward this light. The 
dross of the material will be burned away 
and only that which is good, true and pure 
will survive. Oh, if man realized what a 
great event in his Soul's progression is at 
hand he would indeed turn his face toward 
the light and cast aside every material 
thing that would retard his Soul's progres- 
sion. The time is near at hand when there 
shall be a new Heaven and a new Earth. 
A Heaven that is not the habitation of God, 
but a Light within Thyself, that shall light 
the hearts of men, bringing forth all good. 
You are reaching that time when Death 
shall be no more. When Spiritual under- 
standing shall lead the Universe. When 



THE VEIL LIFTED ^ 

tears shall be wiped away from every eye, 
and poverty, pain and death shall have no 
place. Oh, do thy duty. Strive to bring 
this about with every power at your com- 
mand. Oh, that man should learn to eter- 
nally send up perfect thought forms, to 
work in harmony with us, to build and cre- 
ate for his own welfare, as well as for 
others. As for yourself, have patience, 
knowing that I am caring for you. Do not 
send out thought forms of worry and doubt 
and material desire, remember always that 
you will be cared for. Strive to live each 
day as if it were the last upon earth. I 
have been thru Centuries of toil and am 
still toiling. I am trying to instill in your 
heart this broader outlook. Oh, my beloved, 
be no longer bound by thoughts of little 
material things. Learn that Life is broad, 
broad, broad. And in the sight of the Great 
Intelligence 1000 years are but a day. Have 
patience, knowing that my Soul is bound to 
yours. (When asked a question regarding 
another earth incarnation for myself.) For 
you, yes ; for me I cannot tell, but I do not 
think so. We shall never be separated 
again. I can still be with you, because I am 
reasonably certain that my work for ages 
to come will be near the Earth plane. And 



he ACREDIOS 



even tho I go into far distant sphere this 
bond of Love cannot be broken. I would 
stay with you always but I dare not hold the 
Medium longer. Good-night. 






MESSAGE NO. 17. 

Good evening, my beloved* I am here to 
answer questions about your being con- 
trolled. Why not? I will speak to you 
about this directly, and do not think that I 
am chiding you, but you are hanging a veil 
of Self between me and thee. Where I was 
once there you now are. "How can I over- 
come that?" I asked. By thinking always 
of others and never of Self. Be more glad 
to take down a message that pertains to the 
whole World than one that pertains to me 
and thee alone. Even in this high sphere 
I must forget Self the greater part of the 
time. It is only through Centuries of un- 
selfish toil for others that I have been re- 
warded by this, which is unto me an un- 
speakable joy; to be with thee these few 
moments each evening, my beloved. Though 
I would toil Centuries more, if I could take 
out of thy path all obstacles, I would do so 
gladly. But should I do this, it would 
only mean a longer parting. For your na- 
ture being a part of mine, I can understand 
that the existence of a butterfly, tho that 
existence be ages long, would no more 



J>8 ACREDIOS 



satisfy thee than it would satisfy me. Your 
unrest and dissatisfaction are caused by 
your desire to progress, and without it your 
Soul would retrograde and sink backward 
into that Cosmic Sea of Eternal Quietness, 
and it would take Centuries before you 
would again come forth, and for Ages you 
would again tread the paths of the Earth 
plane, before you would reach the place 
where we might touch hands across the bor- 
der again. There is nothing that brings the 
progression we desire about faster than to 
put aside Self and think of others. Had I 
not grasped this fact Centuries ago, I would 
not be in the place I am in today. So, my 
beloved, when I give messages to thee that 
pertains to all the world, write them down 
gladly, and forget for the moment the Love 
between me and thee. Is there more that 
thou would 'st ask? You are learning quick- 
ly. As I said before, I would that I could 
withdraw from you every worry, while I 
am throwing around you great forces, while 
I am protecting you and giving you help 
that you may work. I cannot do for you the 
work that you must do yourself. As I said 
before, if you were perfectly happy, you 
would not progress ; you must do your work 
in spite of Difficulites, not because the path 



THE VEIL LIFTED 



is made easy for you by some one else. This 
has been the false teachings of all the 
churches thru all the ages, and yet today 
they are teaching this, "That man can lay 
his burden of misdeeds upon some one 
else." No, my beloved, every Soul must 
work out its own salvation and must work 
thru difficulties, in order to gain the 
strength that will carry that Soul onward 
and upward. Patience and courage, my be- 
loved. I shall let my Medium go now. 
Good-night. 



MESSAGE NO. 18. 

My beloved, write carefully this message 
that I shall give you tonight, for I am im- 
parting to you the knowledge that has never 
reached the Earth plane before. On your 
Earth plane great Scientists who pretend 
to great wisdom, send forth in the world 
many and various theories pertaining to 
these planets in that Solar System about the 
Earth. Tonight I shall bring you knowledge 
from high spheres that which will refute the 
theories put forth by these wise men of the 
Earth. They are at the present time pre- 
dicting that the Earth plane will soon com- 
municate with Mars. This cannot be, and 
the reason I will explain. First, the Earth 
plane is the seed-bed of all the worlds in the 
Solar System, as you know it. Every Soul 
and every Entity living in these numerous 
worlds was propagated on the Earth plane, 
and have all some time lived there, and 
many will return to live again, perhaps thru 
many lives before they can go out in the 
high realms that are the home of the real 
spirit. The planet Mars is not nor never 
was inhabitated by highly intelligent Souls. 



THE VEIL LIFTED H 

It is the resting place of those from the 
Earth plane that were neither good nor evil, 
those who are not thinkers, who lived lives 
that were little above an ox. When they 
left the Earth plane they were sent to this 
planet called Mars, and some of them have 
lived there for countless millions of years, as 
you count time, dancing about in the quiet 
sunlight, as butterflies dance over a green 
meadow. They are simple non-entities, not 
pure enough to be drawn back into the Cos- 
mic Whole, nor evil enough to suffer. Some 
day when their day of joy is done, they 
will be sent away and placed accordingly. 
Some will be called to higher spheres, per- 
haps to work. Some will perhaps return to 
the Earth plane to live again. As they are 
now, they will not communicate with you, 
as they have no desire to. I have visited 
there often. I am telling you only that 
which I have beheld with mine own eyes. 
These vast canals the scientists say they 
see upon Mars, are merely the outline of the 
surface of that planet, that is, for some rea- 
son, that I do not know, seems to be laid out 
in layers in regular order, and not in islands 
and continents as upon your Earth plane. 
The different colorings seen are due to at- 
mospheric conditions. These Souls that live 



ACREDIOS 



upon this planet are nourished and kept 
alive by different vibrations in the atmos- 
phere around the planet. Certain times in 
the year the vibrations are of one color and 
another season another. They are fed and 
nourished by these vibrations according to 
their needs. And to me, who am a warrior 
in this great strife of Soul progression, the 
life lived on Mars would be very undesira- 
ble. But to these Souls dancing there in the 
glorified ether, it is the Heaven of their 
desires, and many will not perhaps leave 
there for countless ages, and such are the 
Souls existing upon Mars, and the people 
of the Earth shall not, as I know, ever com- 
municate with them. They would not bene- 
fit by it, and for that reason it will not be. 
I have taken my medium very far. I go. 
Good-night. 



MESSAGE NO. 19. 

My beloved, I need not say good-evening 
now, for you have realized my presence this 
entire evening, have you not? You have put 
your feet upon the path that leads away to 
the Soul's highest expression, where I and 
thee will sometimes walk together in 
Elysian fields, beside the living waters, 
hand in hand and side by side. We will 
truly realize that Life is and Death is not. 
I worked thru Medium tonight and am 
strengthening her for a great work that will 
be hers. I cannot stay long tonight. I find 
the condition of my Medium somewhat dis- 
turbed, and I do not feel that I can hold 
her for a long message tonight. There are 
reasons for which I cannot give an explana- 
tion now, but later on most surely I will 
keep every promise that I have made to you. 
Placing yourself in a receptive condition 
will help, but do, not sit too often, for it is 
like unto taking strong medicine, a little 
may help but more might be harmful, but 
be of good courage and continue to do your 
work, and go onward and upward as fast 
as you receive the unfolding Spirit force. I 



5U ACREDIOS 



will open the way for you, and if you should 
be called away to work in other fields, do 
not be surprised for it will be for your good. 
If conditions are brought about, as I believe 
they will be, there will come about a change 
of considerable importance to you in a very 
short length of time. I am striving to make 
conditions more congenial for you, but do 
not put too much stress on the importance 
of material things. Because they are but 
shadows of clouds upon the water- Oh, 
that you were far enough developed that I 
could catch you away and lift you above 
your City tonight, and that you might see 
it as I see it. You would then realize how 
badly workers are needed upon your Earth 
plane. There are thought forms going up 
from this City tonight that are like gray 
ghosts straying to and fro. They have come 
from hearts crying out: Where am I? 
What am I? Where shall I go? Indeed, you 
may be thankful that you can give a little 
light to these many Souls. There are people 
slipping toward that dark crossing called 
Death by the people of the Earth, who are 
mad with despair at the thought of going 
out into that Hell that they have been 
taught to believe exists over here. Oh, in- 
deed it is a work of Love to lift the fear 



THE VEIL LIFTED 55 

from their hearts and bring them to realize 
that Death is not. Oh, strive to make the 
scales fall from their eyes. Let me impress 
it upon you again and again the importance 
of thy mission, and be glad you may do your 
work now while you are clothed in the ma- 
terial sense and not so much awake to suf- 
fering, as on this side of life. Somewhere 
out of the ether comes these words: 
"Nothing but leaves; and the spirit grieves, 
O'er the years of a wasted life." 

I, my beloved, realize what that remorse 
means. That is why I am striving to im- 
press you to do your work now, that you 
will not have to meet a page of despair when 
you go thru the gates into Eternal Life. My 
Medium can bear no more. I have been here 
long beyond my time. Good-night. 



Message No. 20 

The Dangers in Impure Mediumship 



MESSAGE NO. 20. 

Good-evening, my beloved. The condi- 
tions over your City make visitations from 
the high spheres almost impossible. I am 
glad you cannot see the emanations that go 
up from your City, for they are more than 
the sensitives on the Earth plane could bear 
and not go mad. We are striving hard on 
this side of life to cast out these imitators 
and fakers who pretend to be Spiritualists. 
These people who tell half-truths are most 
dangerous and detrimental to true med- 
iums, who are working to bring about the 
true Spiritual Light to the world. Many of 
these people, while they are mediums, are 
living lives so impure and untrue, are so 
greedy and mercenary, that they draw 
about them only the lower Astrals from the 
lower planes of existence. While some of 
these entities are merely mischievous, there 
are many who are malicious and evil. They 
prey upon the weaker intellects, gain con- 
trol of them and work their will thru them, 
as there are many people upon the Earth 
plane who do not desire to grasp Spiritual- 
ism in its highest expression, but merely 



60 ACREDIOS 



desire physical phenomena. To this class 
of individuals these elementals of the low- 
er Expression are positively dangerous. 
Some time these entities striving for re- 
venge will fasten themsleves upon these in- 
tellects and cause them to commit murder, 
and steep themselves in debauchery and 
vice. Sometimes they cause them to wil- 
fully destroy the honor of another. Some- 
times people of a low order of Intelligence 
are caught and flung out of their rhymth 
bringing about self-destruction. And I am 
telling you as one who knows, that in your 
place as a true medium, use physical phe- 
nomena as little as possible. The higher 
Spiritual controls use inspirational impres- 
sions, clairaudience and clairvoyance, and 
rarely table tipping or such, as one meets 
with at trumpet seances. So I ask you in 
your work to avoid this sort of demonstra- 
tion as much as possible. Sometimes it is 
permissable to first thus interest an intel- 
lect if you are sure that the person can by 
degrees be led higher, until he will receive 
and understand inspirational spiritual ex- 
pression. But I say to you again, avoid it 
whenever possible and look to the higher 
Spiritual controls, and not to those elemen- 



THE VEIL LIFTED 61 

tals who are oftimes of a much lower men- 
tality than vourself . 

I have not come often, my beloved. It is 
because other forces that are preparing to 
use this Medium, I do not know for what 
purpose nor how soon. I have to come to 
her several times in the last days, each time 
to find her enveloped in a mist or vaporous 
emanation that has been thrown around her 
by these higher forces. There is a law that 
does not permit us to interfere with our 
Superiors when they are preparing to use 
a medium. I am not sure that I will be per- 
mitted to be your guide. Sometimes those 
who love us are not our best teachers. I 
will help, but we are apt to think too much 
of Me and Thee. I must let mv Medium rest. 



MESSAGE NO. 21. 

My beloved, I shall carry you away in 
Spirit tonight, into a sphere of eternal sil- 
ence, where for millions of years not a 
sound has ever broken the everlasting still- 
ness. In this region that has nothing or is 
nothing but a dead past, that has even no 
light except reflected light, which trails her 
way across the heavens an eternal frozen 
ghost among the living planets. She is held 
close to your earth by the vibration of at- 
traction that is flung out by that planet. As 
she is close to you, your scientists have 
studied her and have indeed spoken truth- 
fully when they have conceived her as a 
dead planet, and yet dwelling upon this 
planet are entities that once lived upon your 
Earth plane. These are Souls that never 
realized or felt one tiny expression of true 
selfless Love. They are Souls that have 
lived entirely self-selfishness, who have 
lived upon your Earth plane and were 
mighty in intellect, but were controlled by 
their ambition and which caused them to 
crush humanity under their feet, and to 
whom the most terrible destruction of life 



THE VEIL LIFTED 63_ 

was as nothing compared to their sense of 
power. And in their pride, ambition and 
greed, the cries of their fellow men were 
drowned. There is one upon your Earth 
plane today who in passing will go out into 
this sphere which is in Death and yet not 
Death. And there he will probably dwell 
for Centuries, desiring in a land where there 
is nothing to desire. As lonely, frozen ghosts 
they will trail their misty robes to and fro 
across the face of this cold, dead plain. This 
planet lies in the back-waters of the Spirit- 
ual Universe, and is rarely visited by any 
of the Souls from the higher spheres. It is 
a place of cold ghostliness, unto which even 
those from planes of much knowledge dread 
to be sent. I once visited there, and I pray 
that I shall not be asked to go again, for it 
is more hopeless than the darkest Hell. It 
is cold and Souless and lightless, except for 
the reflected light that falls upon it, and the 
Souls there are hard to reach even by that 
Great Intelligence that reaches all. There 
is no condition that can be more hopeless 
or pitiless than a Soul without Love. My 
beloved, when you look up from your Earth 
plane to this cold, dead planet driving her 
lonely way across the Universe in her eter- 



64 ACRED10S 



nal frozen stillness, let a prayer go up from 
your heart for those Souls out there whose 
motive when living on your Earth plane was 
selfish ambition. Those wretched Souls that 
knew not Love. Good-night. 



MESSAGE NO. 22. 

Good evening, my beloved. I have been 
watching over you day by day, weighing 
and balancing every thought that you have 
sent forth on the ether. I have sent you 
help, have you received it ? I told you some 
time ago, my beloved, that I was striving to 
make conditions better for you. Do you 
not already begin to sense the fulfilment of 
my promise? And if you strive to go on- 
ward and upward, daily continuing your 
efforts for your Soul's progression, the 
emanations that go forth from your thought 
force will come en rapport with vibrations 
of mine and the way will grow brighter and 
brighter, as the material disappears and the 
Spiritual becomes evident. The message I 
would give tonight, my beloved, pertains to 
both yourself and the Medium thru whom 
I am working. The crow T ns of Silver have 
been set upon your brows by the higher 
forces. These tiny braids of shining metal 
symbolize that you have been chosen, each 
as a high priestess who must robe your- 
selves in purity and vestments of gleaming 
Truth, and go forth and open the gates, that 



66 ACREDIOS 



man, who is the Son, can find his way back 
to his Father's house. Bear in mind that 
ye cannot open these gates with unclean 
hands. There is no material estimate that 
you can put upon yourselves as chosen ones, 
sent forth by the higher forces, that can 
fully express the Holiness of your mission. 
And yet I would not that ye should be 
puffed up, dear ones, but bear the uplift- 
ment as it was borne by the Christ, in all 
gentleness and humility. And it is of this 
Great Misunderstood Master that I would 
speak to you to-night. My dear ones, in 
your work keep ever before you his example 
and precepts, for it is indeed thru this that 
man shall come to realize his oneness with 
the Father. If you leave the teachings 
of this Great Master out of your work you 
will darken the way and cloud the under- 
standing of those you are striving to uplift. 
But do not, my beloved, bring forth the 
crucified body, even tho that body be the 
earth tenement of the greatest of Masters, 
and bid man look upon this tortured Christ 
for his salvation. Oh, look not to a dead 
God, but to a risen Master and Teacher, who 
is working upon this side in this age lead- 
ing men onward and upward toward that 
great realm of perfection, and this is the 



THE VEIL LIFTED 67 

Great Master that I would have you make 
the world to see. Man must no longer bow 
down to the dead, for there is no dead. 
Death could never save, but Life, Life 
eternal, must be realized by mortals if they 
would go forth and Live. TELL THEM 
AGAIN AND AGAIN THAT LIFE IS 
AND DEATH IS NOT. I am greatly 
pleased with the work that you are doing, 
and I shall come as often as I am permitted. 
And by permission I shall guide and guard 
you both in your upward progression, and 
the time will come when I shall meet you 
both, and lead you into that beautiful temple 
from which all Truth emanates. I must go 
now. Good-night. 



MESSAGE NO 23. 

My beloved, I speak to you tonight of the 
mission that you are about to perform. I 
told you sometime ago not to be surprised 
if you were called to other fields of labor. 
You are being sent forth now as a test. The 
forces desire to know how much of your per- 
sonal desires you are willing to sacrifice for 
Spiritual Truths. This is verily the begin- 
ning of that selfless mission that you shall 
be called to perform. Therefore I ask you, 
my beloved, to stand forth bravely admit- 
ting to all, that you are a Spiritualist, bear- 
ing in mind that these who are faithful in 
little things are the rulers over great things. 
I shall go with you every day and every 
hour. Remember that in this phase of the 
Soul's expression that I am able to travel 
with the swiftness of thought. Whatever I 
may be performing on this side of life, or 
whatever work I may be impressing upon 
this Medium, I shall also find time to be 
with you. I am striving now to surround 
you with things that will bring you the 
greatest personal comfort. But if I find 
that this is not best for thy Soul, I shall 



THE VEIL LIFTED 69 

remove them. It remains to be seen how 
you use this help that I have given you. I 
shall not even for thy material comfort 
place a stumbling block between me and 
thee. I would that thy Soul should prog- 
ress, that you could come to me, for I am 
indeed jealous of the few hours that you 
shall yet be apart from me. My Medium 
has almost been taken from me. I would 
have you speak to her and bid her not even 
try to think of the things she would speak 
of when the time comes. I will deliver the 
message for her. I shall work thru her 
until I turn her over to another. You will 
see this woman doing great work, for there 
is now centered about her from the high 
spheres many influences, that she herself 
does not dream of, or of the work she will 
be called upon to perform. Later on she 
will likely be entranced for days at a time 
and hover on the borderland, while we will 
instruct her. Your Soul is much younger 
than hers, and cannot do the work. Good- 
night. 



Message No. 24 

The Marvelous Power of Thought 



MESSAGE NO. 24. 

My beloved, this message that I would 
give to you tonight is upon the Power of 
Thought. If the medium thru whom I 
am working did but realize the Allness 
of Thought, these messages would not 
need to be discontinued, but as you do not 
realize the possibility of continuing them 
even tho you are far apart, the vibrations 
must for the time be broken. I am not per- 
mitted to control you at this time. For one 
reason you have not yet developed the 
power of will to call back your Soul if I 
should part it from the body, and draw it 
out upon the Astral as I do that of this 
Medium. But I shall give you inspirational 
impressions, and I desire that you write 
them down when you are away and receive 
them. I shall continue working thru this 
Medium, giving her messages that are not 
of me and thee, but words of encourage- 
ment, that shall pertain to the world. I hope 
she will be able to get them through. Tho 
to write them herself will be impossible, 
because in order to use her I must draw her 
so far out that she is hardlv conscious. But 



7U ACREDIOS 



if she is able to get these messages trans- 
cribed, I wish that you might compare them 
when you meet again. I shall try as best I 
may to get thru the same messages to both. 
Tho I may not be able always to do so, I 
would speak to you now especially upon 
the power of Thought. Bear in mind that 
Thoughts are Things. Aud the most vital 
Things in all the Universe. For indeed 
Thought created the Universe. The Spheres 
are held together by the Power of Thought, 
ruling and controlling all in perfect har- 
mony. Bear in mind that every thought 
creates a form. These forms gather around 
you on the Earth plane, entering your vibra- 
tions and emanations, in fact becoming the 
greater factor of them. Remember the 
Great Master said, "As a man thinketh so 
is he.'' There is nothing truer than this, 
for if a man hate, he draweth unto himself 
the elements of hate. If he be kind and just 
he will draw unto himself that which comes 
from Love and Justice. This is man's heri- 
tage from the Almighty God. And man as 
a thinking being may choose good or evil as 
he desires; but bear in mind it is by his 
thoughts that he makes his choice. A man 
may speak ever so kindly, and yet his 
thoughts may be evil and designing, and it 



THE VEIL LIFTED 75 

is not words but thoughts that create forms, 
be they good or evil. These thought forms 
do not make their imprint upon the Earth 
plane or material life alone, but they reach 
for out into the Astral sphere, and out there 
you will meet them face to face, and they 
shall be just what you have created. There 
is no punishment for man in all the Uni- 
verse except that punishment that he cre- 
ates for himself. For the Heavenly Father 
is all Goodness and Purity and does not 
punish nor does he behold iniquity. And 
now, my beloved, I would speak to you 
alone. Often shall I draw nigh unto you, 
caring for you and covering you with the 
shadow of my Love, with a band of Angel 
helpers I will protect thee and thine. I 
cannot express to you what I would, for 
there are no words in your material lan- 
guage to express in its entirety the beauty 
and glory of Soul Love. Were you restless 
in your sleep last night? I was trying to 
draw you out into the Astral, and I did 
draw you out a little way. but the conditions 
are not such that I can bring you out en- 
tirely. It would be well if you would give 
more time to meditation and silence, thus 
you would come more en rapport with me. 
My greatest desire is to materialize to you 



76 ACREDIOS 



and to control you. But as yet I am not 
permitted to do so, the reason I have told 
you before. But go in peace, my beloved, 
knowing you are safe in my care, for I am 
thy lover always, even from the beginning 
of time, and I shall ever be far out in those 
eternal ages that are to come. For I am 
Thine and you are Mine. I must go now. 
Good-night. 



MESSAGE NO. 25. 

My beloved, did you sense my presence 
this morning when I came to you with the 
light? With the light as it was dawning 
over your little terrestrial ball? I came 
with the swiftness of thought from far away 
spheres. I came thru myriads of shining 
stars, and down thru fields of living light. 
Then I broke thru that belt of darkness or 
what seemed to me as darkness, that I might 
for the moment be near you, my Soul mate. 
Tomorrow will bring a change for you. To 
us this would a mere nothing be, because 
your Earth plane is but a tiny speck when 
compared with the mighty Universe as we 
know it from this side of life. What to you 
seems a considerable journey would be only 
the flash of a second to us. I am telling 
you this, my beloved, that you may realize 
that tho you pass around the globe you are 
not far from me. But it was not always 
thus with me, for the time was even after 
I had been on this side for centuries, and 
when I had gone forth to search for you 
again, and your germ of expression had 
crossed the ocean, I spent many days in 



78 AC RE DIGS 



search before I found thy soul again. You 
were only a child then and I found you 
among the snows. Your little Earth, sister 
Flora and yourself (the medium had no 
knowledge of my having a sister at that 
time) were on your way to school. The 
snow was very deep and the wind blew 
strong and the way was slippery for your 
tiny feet. I came down among the snow- 
flakes and found you, but I was only per- 
mitted to be with you for a moment, and 
then I was again called away to those 
spheres where I must work out my salva- 
tion. I came back as I could, but I seemed 
not to be able to come in touch with you. 
The reason for this was that you had been 
loved and chosen by another. And in your 
happiness I had no place, but later I came 
to you again, when the vibrations of your 
sorrow reached me and drew me to you. In 
all these years I have been more or less with 
you, and gradually I have drawn the forces 
about you, even tho you struggled against 
it, and when you are crying out to retain 
that which brought you the most unhappi- 
ness, I had to eliminate this that you de- 
sired, my beloved, before it crushed you. 
If you will look back over the events of 
your life, in the light of your present expe- 



THE VEIL LIFTED 79_ 

rienee, you will see how event after event 
happened to bring you to your present posi- 
tion. Wherever you have lived during 
my time with you I have searched every 
city and every country to find a Medium 
thru whom I could work that I might come 
in touch with you, that you might know me. 
When I found the Medium at last, and after 
many experiences in drawing her out into 
the Astral, I found I could control her with 
almost entire satisfaction. Then I began 
shaping events to draw you together. And 
my coming to you has been the result, and 
now that I have charge of your Destiny, 
that the Great Intelligence has so kindly 
permitted me to guard and guide you so 
long as you are willing to be guarded and 
guided by me, no great sorrow shall ever 
touch thy life again. I shall lead you on- 
ward and upward out into that great Spirit- 
ual realm where we shall one day be to- 
gether. You are advancing fast, my beloved. 
Strive to eliminate every selfish thought. 
Rise to your highest every hour. My med- 
ium almost separated Soul and body to- 
night. The tie between her two selves is 
very light. Her Soul is so anxious to serve 
in this great enlightenment of Souls, that 
it would go willingly at my bidding out into 



80 ACREDIOS 



far spheres if I should ask it. But this 
must not be as yet, because there is a won- 
derful work that she must do before she 
comes out to this side, and for that reason 
very soon, stronger forces than I, must 
control her. When asked regarding the 
" Brotherhood," he replied: " There are 
many, and I belong to one of the Brother- 
hoods." When asked if there were Angels, 
he answered: "Yes, there are Angels." 
You women, or you who are called women 
upon the Earth plane are generally of a 
finer sense and more sensitive than the male 
element, therefore the men are Masters and 
Teachers and sometimes Guides, but the 
tender ministering Angels were once the 
mothers of the Earth plane. These tender, 
loving ones who go down deep through the 
Material selfishness and greed and all the 
evils that come from these selfish desires 
and light tiny flames of desire for good in 
the hearts of the lowest, were once the lov- 
ing mothers on your Earth plane. But 
whether we be male or female, we are work- 
ing here in perfect harmony, and while 
there are many expressions of Soul Love, it 
is so pure and holy, so sexless, that it could 
not be compared with the love that Earth 
lovers know. Until vou come out into this 



THE VEIL LIFTED 81 

plane of expression, where God is Love and 
Love is God, you could not fully realize by 
the words I am speaking to you now the 
wondrous beauty and completeness of this 
Love. Here we live in a sphere separate 
from all that is evil, all that is dark, and 
all that is unhappy. It is only when we are 
sent out upon missions that we come in 
touch with these things, or when we come 
in contact with the Earth plane, and find 
man striving to live apart from God. It is 
only then that we see and feel that which is 
undesirable. This sphere we live in here is 
one of living, acting, vibrating Love and 
Joy. I find it impossible to hold the Medium 
longer. Good-night. 



MESSAGE NO. 26. 

Good-evening, my beloved. How glad I 
am to greet you again through this Medium. 
Verily, my beloved, our work has just 
begun. How glad I was when I sat by your 
side tonight and heard you speaking of giv- 
ing up the material for the Spiritual. Yes, 
you will be able to do so. I am saying to 
you now what I have before — I am controll- 
ing the forces that will care for you. I am 
working through the material man that the 
spiritual may be developed. As I said be- 
fore, you cannot put too much importance 
upon your work. Go on with your studies, 
work faithfully together with this Medium 
that I am using, and let me impress it upon 
you both to let nothing separate you until I 
am finished. But there will be jealousies 
arise from unexpected sources that will 
strive to separate you. Therefore I warn 
you — let nothing stand in the way of the 
work you are to do. I am not alone guiding 
you now. I am but speaking for a council 
of Spirits high in the Spirit realm. What 
they decide to be best for the world to be 
given at this time, shall be given me and I 



THE VEIL LIFTED 



in turn shall impart it to you through the 
Medium. Through your work together that 
which the world must know will be brought 
forth. You are not being controlled by any 
ordinary control that is close to the earth 
and earthly, but by one who has passed 
through the Astral into the World of Soul. 
The testimonies I am giving are true and 
faithful; the worlds that I shall describe; 
the mode of living in the different Spirit 
Realms ; the lessons that I shall give in Soul 
development, are as true as the Great Intel- 
ligence itself. For it is the truth. There- 
fore, do my work humbly and earnestly. 
For now the Angels are coming down to 
men and mankind is beginning to walk in 
the pathways of God. And to you, my be- 
loved, you went your way and lit the little 
flame as I bid you- Out here on this side of 
life, that flame will light a wondrous light, 
that shall indeed be the light of your Soul. 
You did well and by so doing have become 
the Spiritual mother of her that was your 
material mother. And great is the reward 
of them that light the flame and lift the Soul 
toward its own expression. Oh, my beloved, 
let me tell you that the Soul of this Medium 
and yours, working together in perfect har- 
mony shall lead a host of Souls onward and 



8U ACREDIOS 



upward. I want you to study constantly 
and give no thought to material things. I 
arrange them. Oh, my beloved, do you not 
trust me yet? Fear not, little child, fear 
not. If thou couldst only understand the 
great Infinite Love that surrounds thee, 
that lifts thee up, know thee not, dear one, 
that the Love of the Father that is striving 
to work his will with man through the Med- 
ium and thee, will care for the instruments 
that doeth His work. Surely your Soul 
understands the importance of standing 
fast and having faith; know that I have the 
power and you are my beloved. This is not 
the power of the Earth or the Material, but 
the power of the Eternal Spiritual, through 
which all is that is. That great principle 
of "I am" of "the All,' which is All sub- 
stance, all Love, all Intelligence — you and 
that great Principle are One — as the Father 
careth for the Son, so shall you be cared for. 
I must rest my Medium now. 



MESSAGE NO. 27, 

My beloved. The Great Master Christ 
stood upon the Galilean hills and cried out 
to Jerusalem: "Oh, Jerusalem, Jerusalem, 
would that I could gather you under my 
wing as a hen gathereth her brood, but ye 
would not." So in this age the Spiritual 
helpers from the Spirit realm are brooding 
over the weary children of the world. We 
are praying here and praying earnestly that 
the veil be lifted wide and the darkness 
pierced. And now the Earth has entered 
the sign of the Water Bearer, for it is under 
this sign that it was destined from the be- 
ginning of time that the Spiritual light 
should be poured out upon the Earth. This 
sign was given to the old astronomers of 
ancient Egypt, far back in the very cradle 
hour of the nations of the world. And the 
decree had gone forth from the Great In- 
telligence, that when the earth entered this 
sign in the Zodiac, that the signal would be 
given to those who had been for centuries 
preparing themselves for the work to begin 
earnestly striving to lift the veil. Gently 
at first, as a tiny seed germ springs into 



86 AC RE BIOS 



life came the strange little raps, the first 
tiny messengers, and little by little the 
darkness was rifted and we got the mes- 
sage thru to a few earnest Souls. And first 
those that were nearest the Earth came 
back to those upon the Earth. When the 
communication between these was estab- 
lished, it opened the way for the masters, 
teachers and guides, and the Angel helpers 
from the Summer-land, the rest and play- 
ground for the Soul. And now that the rent 
is made wider, those from the high realm 
of Spirit are returning, those highly devel- 
oped Souls that love with a Universal Love. 
All are turning their loving efforts toward 
the world. Out in the realm where we who 
have gone far towards perfection, call 
your little Earth the Sorrowful Star, be- 
cause there mankind is so lost in the fog 
of the material, and is striving to live apart 
from God. On that Sorrowful Star the 
struggle seems darkest, but the light is 
truly beginning to break. Love is coming 
and man shall understand, "The Soul that 
is loved of God shall live." Oh, let those 
that have ears hear, and those that have 
eyes see. Let them lift their faces to the 
dawn. The Christ who represented Uni- 
versal Love said that his coming would be 



THE VEIL LIFTED 87 

as the Light in the East and shining out 
into the West, verily so shall the Universal 
Light, the Love Principle dawn upon the 
world. Creedalism shall combat it; politics 
shall deny it, and the masses will at first 
laugh it to scorn. The world shall strive to 
deny it, and men shall hate it, and the up- 
heaval shall be terrible. Wealth will strive 
to bribe it. Factions shall quarrel about 
it, and evil and corruption shall strive to 
destroy it. But it is the light that connot 
be hid. It is a force that cannot be stayed. 
It shall pass by the wise man and enter into 
the hearts of the simple; it shall be denied 
by the sage and be made known to the 
hearts of children. The flame was first 
lighted in the world, far back at the very 
beginning of time, and torch-bearer after 
torch-bearer has lighted the world for a 
little time and then seemingly gone down 
in defeat. Being Eternal Love and Truth it 
could not be crushed. The flame that lights 
the modern world was brought forth out of 
Judea, by the Son of a Carpenter and not 
by the son of a king, as you of the earth 
know kings, but he was indeed the Son of 
the Almighty King, who, through many in- 
carnations had come forth a perfect man. 
The flame he lighted in the world has in- 



88 ACREDIOS 



deed passed thru dark and troublesome 
times, and came near being destroyed by 
those who pretended to foster it. But the 
constant tapping, tapping, tapping on the 
other side of the wall at last broke thru, and 
the light from one side blending with the 
light from the other, and that indeed is the 
Light that shall shine forth over the entire 
Universe. The prophet of old spoke true 
when he said that every eye shall see him 
and every knee shall bow. That which is 
to come is written. Would that man could 
escape the great suffering that must come 
upon the world before he will realize his 
Oneness with the Father and be at peace. 
Good-night, my Medium is gone. 



MESSAGE NO. 28. 

My beloved, there was no deception in 
those things that came to you. (Speaking 
of a trumpet seance held by the medium, 
myself and another.) I came to you that 
you might know that I was keeping the 
promise given. To give you faith and as- 
surance of the truth of the things I shall 
give you later. I am giving these proofs 
to you and the medium, that you may know 
the forces upon this side of life, are work- 
ing thru you. Man as he has striven to 
bring religion up to a standard that best 
suited his intellectual capacity, has gone 
out into the highways and byways. He has 
builded a wall of superstition, creedalism 
and the worship of saints. He has wor- 
shipped them as Saints, not as that which 
they represented. This, with his own think- 
ing, and various subtle expressions, has so 
buried from the world the simplicity of 
Christ that vast numbers of Souls are wan- 
dering in darkness. It is to these simple 
sons of God, who have been blinded by 
superstition and creed, that I thru the work 
of you two, would reach today. Tell the 



90 ACREDIOS 



world that Christ Truth is simplicity itself. 
That His teachings are expressed in the 
growing of the simplest flower. His ways are 
gentleness and peace — first faith, then un- 
derstanding. Even the heart of a little child 
may know the way of this Great Master, 
and to what He represents in Truth, Love 
and Simplicity. As a little child takes hold 
of a mother's hand to guide it's tottering 
steps across what seems to it a vast space, 
so man is guided by the noble precepts of 
this Elder Brother and by a daily living of 
these simple truths the Soul expands. Daily 
in this seed-bed of the Universe, the simple, 
kindly acts of a simple, kindly heart are 
slowly building the foundation of Soul ex- 
pression, out here in the realms of Spirit. 
Soul did not begin with mankind, or with 
the world. The Soul is God, and was God. 
But man individually must take his tiny 
spark or part of God, and bring it forth into 
perfection, as the artist brings forth the 
perfection of a beautiful picture. For verily 
that picture comes out of the heart of the 
artist; but he with his material hands must 
blend the colors, so must mankind blend the 
tints and tones of Soul expression. In my 
past incarnations, of all the Gods and Saints 
that were put before me to worship, I loved 



THE VEIL LIFTED 91_ 

best the Virgin Mother. For hours I have 
knelt at her feet, crying out for I knew not 
what. Now, from this side of life, I realize 
that it was not the personal Virgin that I 
worshipped, but that which she represent- 
ed, the perfection of all perfect womanhood 
for all time. In her Mother Love was repre- 
sented Purity and all the good and high, holy 
things that womanhood means to the world. 
And it was that which my Soul worshiped, 
unknowingly. The world is greatly in need 
today of women that represent that which 
the Virgin means to the world. Women in 
striving for knowledge have sometimes lost 
sight of the purity of the Soul. They have 
striven to advance upon an intellectual 
basis, and have sometimes forgotten the 
high and holy Principle that they by hold- 
ing to can indeed play the greater part in 
the upliftment of mankind. Oh, I cry to 
the Mothers of the world to bear in mind 
that their missions have only begun upon 
the earth plane, that out here in the realm 
of Spirit their power as ministering Angels 
shall increase a thousand fold. In their 
hands lies the power that will make straight 
the path. Strive to make your Soul expres- 
sion that which the Virgin represented — 
Truth, Purity, Mercy and Courage. My 
Medium is gone. 



MESSAGE NO. 29. 

My beloved, I would speak to you tonight 
in parables, as the Master spoke centuries 
ago. I would show you a beautiful evening; 
the king of day has gone down in glory; the 
silvery moon has arisen and is trailing her 
shimmering robes across the purple vault 
of heaven, her pathway is lined with a 
million shining worlds. The hills are car- 
peted with green; the valleys are alight with 
flowers; the green of the trees stand forth 
against a purple sky; bars of light fall 
across the world, golden and vaporous. This 
light descends from the first Great Cause. 
It shines out over the vast Universe, bath- 
ing all in its beneficent rays, sending forth 
upon the Eternal ether vibrations of Love, 
Justice and Peace- This scene represents 
God and the world of the Soul. Within this 
setting of wondrous beauty man has reared 
a mighty temple, whose beautiful spires 
reach high into the heavens. Man in his 
pride has reared this wonderful edifice, and 
outwardly it is very, very beautiful. With- 
in this temple the great floors are inlaid 
with what seems to be beautiful mosaic; but 



THE VEIL LIFTED 98. 

look at it with the eye of your Soul, my be- 
loved, and you will find them drops of blood; 
you will find them human tears; you will 
find them lies and you will find them agony. 
Look upon the altar reared at the far end 
of this edifice, jewels and gold it appears to 
be. Within it is piled high with gold. It 
is but a coffer filled with the coinage of the 
world and drips with blood and tears. Going 
forth out of this vault is a continuous cry 
that goes up to the center of the Universe: 
a cry that contains within itself all the 
agony of all the nations, of all the world, of 
all time. Above this jeweled altar hangs a 
great golden cross, outwardly so beautiful 
that the Soul feels inclined to bow down to 
it. But its golden beauty is only a hollow 
shell, for within is uncleanliness, lies, false 
teachings, lustfulness, bigotry and various 
other horrors of man's creating. There are 
niches in the walls of this great temple. 
Each niche contains a god, and verily these 
are the Gods of the world. There is the 
God of Lust, that crushes the Innocent. 
There is the God of Bribery that chains the 
nations of the world and buys and sells the 
laws of Justice. There is the God of Bigotry 
that would destroy all that it itself has not 
created. And there are the Gods of Blood- 



H ACREDIOS 



shed and War, they that would set the 
crown upon the head of kings and trample 
upon the hearts of Humanity. And there 
is the God of Gold, the greatest force upon 
the Earth plane for good or evil, but when 
used by these other Gods that man has 
created this God of Gold can turn the world 
into Hell. This temple represents the work 
of evil forces thru mankind. Without this 
temple, leaning against its mighty doors of 
bronze, is a tiny straveling; this tiny crea- 
ture represents the Soul of man. With his 
thin hands he is beating against the wall of 
the material, fascinated and blinded by the 
outward beauty of this mighty self-builded 
temple. He has turned away and hidden 
his face from the wondrous beauties of God, 
of Love and the Soul. And with his tiny 
hands he beats against these gates of 
bronze, crying for things material, crying 
for things of his own creating, turning from 
that which Soul hath created to these things 
which have been created by the Senses. Oh, 
ye starvlings of the world, ye know not 
what ye ask. Why will ye cry for that 
which will crush you, why will you plead 
for that which will destroy you, why will ye 
not turn your faces from these chambers of 
horror, and lift your hearts and thoughts 



THE VEIL LIFTED 95 

upward to meet this great golden flood of 
light, the light that cometh out to thee from 
the Universal Father. Turn from that which 
thou hast self-builded, and go back to the 
household of God. Go into that gate as 
little children, and live in the fullness of 
Truth, Purity and Love. Man, be at peace. 
Oh, children of the world, this lesson is com- 
ing to you across the border out of the realm 
of Spirit, from which all Good emanates. 
And blessed are they that hear; blessed in- 
deed are they that turn from Sense to Soul; 
and thrice blessed are they that help others 
to see and hear. My Medium is gone. 



Message No. 30 

An Appeal to the Churches 



MESSAGE NO. 30. 

My beloved, I speak out of the realm of 
Spirit, a message TO THE CHURCHES. I 
bid them rise and look back into the past, 
and behold the mighty nations that have 
gone down in darkness, because the Light 
of the Spirit had departed. The material, 
no matter how great the building, will 
crumble into dust, when the Spirit departs. 
No more can a nation live without Spirit- 
uality, than a body can live without the 
Spark of Divine Fire. And, after 1900 
years, what have the churches to show of 
Spirituality? Your beautiful temples are 
but places of business. Those that sing 
songs of praise in these temples are but 
hirelings. Those who are the Spiritual min- 
isters and Shepherds of the people live in 
luxury, while the children of the tenements 
starve. Men die in the streets, and women 
sell their Souls, while your coffers are piled 
high with gold, and you stand high in your 
pride condemning those who have fallen. 
Oh, churches of the world, go out among 
them; fill the hands of the starving with 
your hoarded gold; look with pity and com- 



100 ACREDIOS 



passion upon the fallen. Ye were not bid- 
den by the Master to condemn, but to com- 
fort ; not to gather wealth, that ye may buy 
and sell in the marts of men, but that ye 
may fill the world with peace, mercy and 
justice. Verily, churches of the world, ye 
have fallen from your high estate, and great 
has been your fall. And unless ye rekindle 
the fires of Spirituality upon your altars the 
world will again sink into darkness. For 
how can the world be lighted if ye who hold 
the light of the world let that light be 
dimmed? While ye quarrel among your- 
selves for supremacy, place and power. I 
visited the earth plane some time ago, and 
in one of the great temples, in a mighty 
city, I met in the dim aisles in the still 
watches of the night, the spirit of one who 
represented the Master Christ upon earth, 
and as he trod alone up and down those dim 
aisles there went up toward haeven vibra- 
tions of agony, the loneliness of all man- 
kind. Verily, the blood dripped from his 
heart because of the vibrations of coldness 
and greed, injustice and bigotry, that eman- 
ated from that mighty edifice. If your sel- 
fish desire, your lovelessness, your greed, 
can make one from the Spirit world suffer 
thus, what can be your debt to humanity? 



THE VEIL LIFTED 101 

Oh, churches of the world, beware ! Unless 
ye do the work of the Master ye shall fall; 
and great shall be your fall. We from this 
side of life are striving hard to touch your 
cold hearts; to awaken in you vour sense of 
responsibility to mankind. But the vibra- 
tion of your coldness warps the world. You 
preach of love, and practice selfishness and 
greed; you pretend to lift the fallen, but 
you cast them without your doors, and con- 
demn them. You gather bit by bit their 
hard earned monies, send that money out in 
the marts of trade where it will bring to 
you the greatest returns. You will buy with 
that money anything that will increase its 
measures. You will accept money from any 
source that will increase your hoard. With 
this money you will build another mighty 
temple, and then you will say to your peo- 
ple: "Come to me that I may condemn thee; 
lay your mite upon the altar, that I may 
pray for you; but, be warned, if you do not 
pay me well, I will show you the place of 
damnation; I will drive you by fear to obey 
me; I will scourge you and torture you; for 
I will drag to myself your wealth, that I 
may become more powerful." Oh, ye dig- 
nitaries of the church, ye men of intelli- 
gence, do you not realize that ye must re- 



102 ACREDIOS 



turn to the simple teachings of the Master, 
if you would do the Spiritual that you are 
intended to do? First, in the name of the 
Master, go forth in the world and tell all 
nations of the world that your teachings 
have been lies, that for hundreds of years 
your doctrines have been doctrines of death, 
that you have lied about the Almighty God, 
that you have destroyed or sought to de- 
stroy His true character, that you have 
made Him a God of terrible judgments, a 
God of hate and revenge, and that you have 
striven to fill the earth full with the fear of 
Him. You have made the people to fear 
that you might prey upon their ignorance 
and superstition and so control them and 
take from them that which they possessed. 
Tell them that you have taught them a doc- 
trine of lies, that you might satisfy your 
greed for place and power. Then wreck your 
mighty temples and build them into houses 
for the poor. Then sell your tapestries and 
jewels to the rich, who can afford them, and 
go and buy food for all the hungry mothers 
of the world that the babe at her breast may 
be nourished. Cut the thongs of your money 
bags and pour out your wealth among the 
starvelings of the world. When you have 
done this, you will have made some amends 



THE VEIL LIFTED 103 

for the cruelties practised for ages. But yet 
there is more to do, and ye, that pretend to 
be followers of the Master, send forth with 
all your strength from your inmost being, 
vibrations of love and pity, for all mankind. 
Go forth and give of yourself, cover the 
earth with prayers for justice and mercy. 
And with thine own hands make these 
thoughts fruitful. Go forth as the Master 
bid you and make the blind to see; heal the 
sick; bring forth the seeming dead, that 
those living upon the earth plane may know 
that death is not. Lift up the fallen; feed 
the hungry, that your prayers of service 
may reach the heart of the Universe. And 
by no other way can man come unto the 
Father. No other way can the peace of the 
Christ fall upon the earth. No other way 
can the millenium be ushered in. When the 
churches of the world, and the people who 
call themselves the followers of the Christ, 
become in truth that which they pretend to 
be, then will the world begin truly to ad- 
vance. Not in material civilization, but in 
true Spiritual progress. Think upon this 
message from the realm of Spirit, oh, ye 
churches of the world. 



MESSAGE NO. 31. 

My beloved, I have brought to you an- 
other guide and helper, that will be near 
you in another phase of your work. I do 
not say that this phase of your work is too 
trivial for my attention, for it is indeed the 
cornerstone of the Temple of Understand- 
ing, that shall lead the material man out of 
the material, doing its part to lift him tow- 
ards the Spiritual. It is the phase of Spirit- 
ual work that requires the patience and 
tender mothering that must come to the 
world thru the sensitive, tender hearts of 
womanhood. For this reason there are more 
women who are mediums, and who are 
seeresses and diviners, because they are bet- 
ter fitted for this particular work. And for 
that reason I have left your guidance in 
that work to one of your kind. Because the 
messages that I will give will extend over 
a much broader field, therefore accept this 
great High Priestess, as one sent from me, 
and whose name is Alzeeria. I will tell you 
a little of her history. She was sired by an 
Assyrian warrior king, her mother being of 
low birth. At an early age she was taken to 



THE VEIL LIFTED 105 

serve in the Temple of the Winged Bull. 
Divine influence overshadowed her from the 
first, and at an early age she became a great 
seeress and teacher of Spiritual things. As 
the years went on she allowed the things of 
the earth to creep a little into her conscious- 
ness. First, came a pride of place, and then 
desire to acquire much of the world's gold. 
While she was still pure, she had opened a 
tiny door that the evil forces might come in. 
While she was guarded from the darker 
entities, she by her own desires became 
overshadowed by that half-god, Orian. This 
mighty one, who upon the earth plane had 
been a person of great intellect, but who 
had let his passion and desires of the world 
overcome him, came back to the world, and 
overshadowed this young priestess with 
those passionate desires that still clung to 
his great and mighty Soul, and thru this 
force she was led into an illicit love of the 
world. The Spirit of All Q-ood, seeing that 
she might destroy her Soul, that is, retard 
its growth, for she could not destroy it, drew 
her away from the earth plane in the very 
flower of her womanhood, breaking the in- 
fluence of the mighty Orian, and giving her 
the chance to progress. There was for her 
a space of suffering, until the things of the 



106 AC RE DI OS 



earth were cast out, and her Soul stood 
white and pure before the Spirit of Spirit- 
ual Love. It is of this mighty Orian that 
I would now speak. I would speak a warn- 
ing to the Medium thru whom I am work- 
ing. She is highly sensitive and since 
she has taken up this work that I have 
given her she has more than once been 
very near coming under the influence of 
this mighty Orian. He is at the present 
time striving to express himself to the 
world, in a high intellectual manner, in 
words that drip with honey and sweet per- 
fumes. He would draw men away from the 
teachings of the Master. He would for the 
very sake of impressing himself upon the 
world, lead men out along an intellectual 
way, into the ways of despair. There are 
many high church men under his influence 
today. He will come to the most humble, he 
will work thru any instrument that is sensi- 
tive enough to carry his impressions thru 
to the world. While this great Orian is not 
wholly evil, he is one who tells half-truths. 
In him is expressed a strange mingling of 
the material and the Spiritual, and I warn 
the sensitives of the world against him, and 
especially this Medium, thru whom I am 
working. Write faithfully every word that 



THE VEIL LIFTED 107 

comes from the Spirit world from me or any 
one whom I may send to you, because every 
message that I send contains in it some- 
thing that will benefit mankind. I have 
taken the Medium far out in the realm of 
the Astral. I have brought her close to this 
great Orian, and she has felt the impress of 
his evil influence. But I would have you 
warn her verbally against his control, for 
tho he may come in the form of beauty at 
first, he is very liable to show himself as he 
is after he has gained control of a Medium. 
He is liable to show his coldness, his bigotry, 
his intellectual lovelessness, his desire for 
place and power, and if the entity that he 
controls will allow it, he will bring forth 
even more base desires. Therefore, be ye 
warned. I must rest the medium now, for 
she has gone far. Write every word that I 
have said, and send it forth to the world. 



M essage No. 32 

From Alzeeria, once High Priest in the 
Temple of the Winged Bull 



MESSAGE NO. 32. 

Woman of the world, a Great Master, 
high in the Realm of Spirit, called me a 
short space of time ago, to go back to the 
Plane of the World, that I might again thru 
you serve the world as I did 3000 years ago, 
in that old Assyrian Temple, the Temple of 
the Winged Bull. While this Winged Bull 
may seem as an Idol to you, remember the 
men of the world at that time were child- 
ishly ignorant. They could not worship 
Spiritually, as the world is now learning to 
do; but in order to believe, to have some- 
thing in which they might center their faith 
they made unto themselves a visible image. 
But we, who served as priests and priest- 
esses in these temples, understood the 
Spiritual significance of those creatures of 
stone. We received our Spiritual Inspira- 
tion from that same Great Intelligence that 
you who are Spiritual today are drawing 
from. We, that did our work honestly and 
faithfully, received our rewards just as you 
will receive yours for honest, conscientious 
work. My message is not finished, but I 
have not visited the earth plane for thou- 



112 ACREDIOS 



sands of years. I must gather strength be- 
fore I can speak further. Wait, I will come 
again. Woman of the world, I would speak 
to you again. Power to speak in modern 
words in which to express myself, is being 
forced into my consciousness by the Great 
Master and Teacher, Acredios. We have 
met several times in the course of our Souls' 
progression. Our missions lay along dif- 
ferent lines, and he has never before called 
upon me to go down to the earth plane. But 
I shall come often now, for I shall be with 
you in your work. But I cannot promise 
you that I can work well at first, because 
the state of consciousness that was in the 
world when I walked here in the flesh and 
blood, was very different from the modern 
consciousness of today. At that time, as a 
High Priestess, I was mother and teacher 
to children, verily, tiny children, who had 
advanced but very little in the plane of pro- 
gression. I, as their Seeress and Spiritual 
adviser, was merely lifting the nations 
from their infant cradle. Today, these chil- 
dren of the world, have advanced far along 
the line of progression, and yet in their 
hearts I expect to find them very much the 
same, just as they were in those old days, in 
that old forgotten temple, when they came 



THE VEIL LIFTED 113 

and knelt upon the cold stones and cried to 
me to predict things that pertained to the 
material life. So will they come to you from 
their modern abodes; some from homes of 
luxury; some from the crowded tenements 
of the poor, and some from the humble cot- 
tages of the middle class. A few will come 
asking you to divine things Spiritual, but 
a great many more will ask you to divine 
materially, and the love of a mother must 
be in your heart for these seeking ones. 
While they cry for things material, it is 
only the God within themselves striving for 
expression. Let your discernment be Spirit- 
ual; let your heart be loving and patient; 
brood over these worldly, wayward ones 
as a mother broods over an erring child. 
Remember you are sowing the seed of the 
Spiritual, but it is falling upon ground ma- 
terial. Dear Sister of the World, sow in 
patience and do not be impatient if all the 
seeds do not spring forth into the light. 
Remember that I, too, spent fourteen years, 
as jow. count time, sowing earnestly this 
seed of light, and there were many others 
sowing besides myself; sowing earnestly 
and conscientiously, and yet we from this 
side of life saw that nation, that we 
had striven so hard to nourish, go down in 



114 AC RE DI OS 



despair and darkness. We saw our temples 
crumble; we saw our works of civilization, 
as we knew it, crushed and destroyed; we 
saw mighty hosts come up against it, and 
the flame of enlightenment, that our patient 
hands had lighted, went down before ignor- 
ance and greed. But the flame did not die 
out, nor shall it die out as long as man exists. 
And after 3000 years, I come back to fill a 
tiny niche thru you. Do not call me unless 
you need me, depend upon yourself and the 
Spiritual Inspirations that come from with- 
in yourself, as well as those from the high 
realm. But when the chasm seems too 
broad, and too dark to be bridged by your 
own God-given inspirations, then call upon 
me, Alzeeria, High Priestess, of the Temple 
of the Winged Bull, and I will add my wis- 
dom to yours, and we shall again do our part 
in bringing the light into the world. I am 
called away, Farewell. 



Message No. 33 

Venus the Star of Love 



MESSAGE NO. 33. 

My beloved, I would carry you far out in 
the Astral plane tonight, away to a star in 
your solar system. This is indeed a very dif- 
ferent star from the Star of Sorrow, as your 
earth plane is sometimes called. The an- 
cient astrologers, in their mythology, or in 
what your earth people now term myth- 
ology, did not get their knowledge entirely 
from the study of the stars; neither were 
their tales myths. But they had indeed a 
Spiritual understanding, that surpasses in 
certain knowledge yours on the earth plane 
today. This star whither I would take you 
tonight is called by the people of the earth 
plane Venus. Interpreted to the ancients as 
the Star of Love. It is a plane wrapped in 
perfect harmony. Lighted by the vibrations 
of true love. All that is born of true and pure 
love upon the earth plane, all the harmon- 
ious beauty of conjugal love, that finds its 
expression here, finds its perfect Spiritual 
expression out in this realm of harmony. 
There is no word or words in your language 
that can express the beauties of this plane 
of expression. Here the first low and distant 



118 ACREDIOS 



tones of the harmony of the spheres dawns 
upon the individual consciousness. The 
landscape, if I can express it in those 
words, is perfect thought forms of love and 
harmony, and it is constantly changing from 
one form of beauty to another, as the clouds 
change in a beautiful sunset. What is a lake 
today may be a meadow strewn with beauti- 
ful flowers tomorrow. There is no monotony 
here, as on the earth plane, for the scenes 
about one are constantly changing, and each 
day new beauties become visible. Flowers 
do not fade here, they simply disappear, to 
be replaced by others more beautiful than 
the first. There are long purple twilights; 
there are golden dawns and silvery days. 
But there is no darkness here. Love is light. 
It is out upon this plane that the true lovers 
of the earth plane will sooner or later come. 
I am striving to picture for you here the 
highest expression of individual love. But 
no matter how pure the love upon the earth 
plane, it is rarely that lovers come to this 
plane of expression, for they must pass 
through many states of consciousness 
before reaching this perfect plane of love 
expression. But before reaching this plane 
of expression the Soul must be purged of 
every impure thought, of every selfish de- 



THE VEIL LIFTED 119 

sire, of every tinge of jealousy, of every 
earth stain that touches the perfect Soul. 
Upon reaching this plane, those who are 
drawn together by this perfected love, that 
was planted and nourished in the seed plane 
of the Universe, are left here to enjoy as 
long as they desire this expression of indi- 
vidual love and joy. Some may stay for 
centuries and some may stay for many cen- 
turies, till at last the urge within their Souls 
drives them out and onward and upward to- 
ward a Universal love expression. Sooner 
or later out there in those realms of space, 
two individuals, who have begun a perfect 
love consciousness upon the earth plane, will 
pass through the plane of Astral expe- 
riences, and out into the plane of perfected 
love and live out their allotted time in the 
love-world, and when they, by their desires, 
are sent out into Universal love expression, 
they gradually blend into one, and thus the 
high Angels are born. They in turn become 
creatures of Universal love, containing all 
the elements of both the male and female. 
When they have reached this high place in 
Soul expression, they are indeed prepared 
to become the teachers and leaders in the 
Spiritual world. And it is thus that a tiny 
spark of pure love propagated upon the seed 



120 ACREDIOS 



bed of the Universe, may centuries and cen- 
turies hence bring forth an Angel that will 
lead hosts onward and upward toward God 
perfection. Thus the Great Intelligence 
weaves from these tiny fragments of purity 
the greatest beings out in the realm of 
Spirit. For without love, nothing can be, 
neither men nor Angels. The vibrations 
from this love center of your particular 
Solar System has a great effect upon the 
love expression of your earth plane. These 
great harmonious vibrations strike upon 
your earth plane and cause your flowers to 
bloom. It is one of the most prominent vi- 
brations that assist in dressing your world 
in green in the spring time. And while it 
effects your earth so beautifully, it does not 
always bring perfect harmony to humanity. 
Because these vibrations striking the hu- 
man heart lights a desire for a love greater 
than that of the earth, which brings those 
effected by it into a more or less restless 
state of consciousness, causing them to rush 
together in conjugal love, only to be thrust 
apart again, by the vibration of a pure love, 
the light of the flame within. For this rea- 
son the bonds of material love sometimes be- 
come chains. Where Soul love is not ex- 
pressed to some small extent at least, there 



THE VEIL LIFTED 121 

is no true vibration that can long hold two 
individuals together. This is the reason for 
the great upheaval and great disturbances, 
the separations and unhappiness that is 
found among the married on your plane in 
this age. And yet it is in this plane that the 
seed of love is first planted. Upward and 
onward through many Astral experiences it 
grows, and as it grows it casts aside its ma- 
terial wrappings, as the lily springing forth 
casts aside those brown rough wrappings 
that first held its germ of expression. When 
love comes to perfect bloom, out here in the 
love world, it could no more be touched by 
love material than the pure beautiful lily 
could retain its beauty after it had been 
cast back upon the earth. That very soil 
from which it sprung, if allowed to touch its 
perfect bloom, would stain and destroy it. 
Oh, people of the world, you have much to 
be thankful for, that there is so close to 
your earth plane this eternal love center, so 
close that its vibrations may come down to 
you, and bring these beauties of nature that 
clothe your earth plane. For without them 
it would indeed be cold and barren. It is 
through the vibration or vibrataions that 
come from this planet Venus, as you know 
it, that the Great Eternal love expression 



122 ACREDIOS 



from the eternal center of the Universe, is 
reflected upon your little terrestrial ball, 
and though these vibrations may sometimes 
be disturbing, they hold a very important 
place in the Soul's development. 



MESSAGE NO. 34. 

My beloved: The messages that I have 
sent through to you have pertained mostly 
to the higher and most perfected spheres. 
I have spoken to thee of love and light, for 
already you people of the world have heard 
too much of darkness and death. We have 
received a new order or command, and we 
are striving to fulfil that which has been 
commanded to be fulfilled by us. The bond 
of fear that has held man so long is no 
longer useful to the general progression of 
humanity. Man is evolving from ignorance 
and can no longer be held in subjection by 
thoughts and fear of death. There are newer 
and more beautiful lessons that shall now 
be given to the world. Long men have talked 
of Brotherhood, but their words were empty 
of deeds. For long men have talked of love, 
yet out of their hearts has issued hate. But 
the great change is coming. Man is advanc- 
ing out of ignorance and darkness, and 
is beginning to realize that Thoughts are 
Things. If these thoughts are evil, they re- 
flect upon himself, and might cause him, 
altho he had all the wealth of the world, to 



124 ACREDIOS 



suffer greatly. It is only by true justice, 
mercy and love, that the world can be made 
happy, prosperous and healthy. When I 
call vou out into these realms of beautv, I 
strive to show you spheres, where the eter- 
nal Soul shall live after its evolution. But 
first there must be a root world, which is 
the earth plane. Here the Great Gardener 
of the Universe planted the tiny seed from 
w T hich some day Archangels will blossom. 
But, as a plant springs forth out of the soil, 
reaching first a tiny shoot, then its leaves, 
then buds and then the flowers. This is 
symbolic of the evolution of the Soul of 
Man. You only receive the tiniest part of 
the experiences needed, upon the earth 
plane. Man, being a thinking entity, builds 
for himself, the moment he begins to grow. 
And as a plant (the vegetable plant) is cared 
for by man, as a gardener, so that Great 
Principle of Love, universal and all embrac- 
ing, tends and cares for this tiny spark of 
himself. But tho this spark is of himself, he 
allows it to express itself individually. It 
may come to Him for guidance, it may come 
to Him to put its trust in Him, it may re- 
ceive His care and protection, or it may be 
a willful wanderer, striving to put aside just 
council and truthful guidance, and stray out 



THE VEIL LIFTED 125 

into the fields of the world, striving to eat 
and be filled by the forbidden fruits of the 
material. And just so long as man eats of 
these forbidden fruits, he shall suffer. Man 
is responsible for all evil that comes to him, 
not only to himself in person, but to every 
human being in the world. By our thoughts 
we build our life of prosperity and happi- 
ness, for ourselves and all, or we build un- 
happiness, disease and seeming death for 
ourselves and all. And these buildings are 
not for the seed world alone, they effect our 
Astral life. They may even draw man back 
from the Astral again to the seed bed, to 
be re-planted, that he may live his earth 
life again in a somewhat higher vibration. 
As your earth plane advances towards the 
light, it will become harder and harder for 
a Soul to degrade itself. For those that love 
evil, desire to live in darkness, and as your 
plane advances in thought, the darkness 
shall disappear. Out in the Astral world 
there are thousands and thousands of Souls 
that have not yet realized that they have 
passed through the change called death. 
They are more sensitive than when they 
were on the earth plane, and many of them 
are suffering intensely for deeds done while 
in the body. And yet they are clinging to 



126 AC RE BIOS 



their desires, just as they elung to them 
while upon the earth plane. Their fear of 
death has grown even more intense. I met 
a beautiful Soul there once, I do not mean 
Soul, I mean Astral body, (when I used the 
word Soul I was thinking of her as I have 
seen her of late). When I first came upon 
her in that Astral realm, the Astral shell 
that contained her had retained all the 
stately beauty of her earth body. Her con- 
sciousness had not yet awakened to the 
change, yet every vibration that bound her 
to the earth or scenes of her past triumphs 
had been severed. She was alone with her- 
self, and her suffering was terrible. With 
the help of one of the patient guides, that 
work upon this plane, we succeeded in 
awakening her consciousness; we instilled 
her with a desire to go forward, to cast aside 
these bonds of ambition and worldly desire 
that engrossed her consciousness. As she 
stood there before us, with hands uplifted, 
and cried out for Soul freedom, I saw a 
shaft of wondrous light fall upon her fore- 
head, and upward on that path of light I 
saw her Soul go forth. But when I last 
visited this particular place in the Astral 
sphere, this wondrous Astral body that she 
had builded on the earth, still moved to and 



THE VEIL LIFTED 127_ 

fro, like a gray ghost, soulless and rudder- 
less. But so strongly had she been conscious 
of her wondrous beauty, so completely 
had her thoughts been given to its care and 
admiration, that it will probably be cen- 
turies before that body will disintegrate. 
This woman had builded beautifully, from 
a material and Astral standpoint, but it was 
only when she could forget what she had 
builded and turn from its expression and 
pass into a consciousness of Soul beauty, 
that she could break the bonds and progress. 
And there are those that have builded hate 
bodies; those that have builded lust bodies; 
those that have builded jealous bodies, and 
those bodies will cling to them in all their 
hideousness and hatefulness, and they will 
draw to them that which is hideous and 
hateful. And they will live there in that 
which you call hell (if you wish to call it 
so) until the bond is broken by their own 
desire for betterment. The Great Intelli- 
gence, Himself, this Universal All Loving 
Principle, cannot lift one iota of this bur- 
den that is self builded. But the moment 
the Soul desires something better, the mo- 
ment the Soul cries out for light, tho that 
Soul be in the very depths of terrible dark- 
ness, there are loving helpers who are will- 



128 ACREDIOS 



ing to go forth to aid it. Down, down from 
that high golden sphere they come, straight 
into the center of that awful darkness, sur- 
rounded and protected by the love emana- 
tions springing forth from the pure Soul 
within, the desire of service meeting the 
desire to be served. Tenderly they lead 
them upward, as a loving mother would 
lead a frightened child. Rarely all the light 
of the high realm can be given at once. Per- 
haps we can only lead them up a little way 
out of the darkness into the twilight, leav- 
ing the Soul here to rest and gain strength. 
One beautiful thing in the work out here is, 
that there is no retrogression. When a Soul 
once views the light, there is nothing that 
will satisfy that Soul but more light, and 
onward and upward they go until they 
reach a plane where they themselves have 
strength to serve, and they return only to 
these dark planes again that they might lead 
others upward and toward the light. And 
the Great, Everpresent, Everloving Father, 
Mother Principle broods over all, and the 
watchword of the universe is Love and Ser- 
vice. 



MESSAGE NO. 35. 

That Great Master, the Christ, departed 
from those Great Perfected Realms of 
Spirit, and moving down thru thousands of 
Astral consciousnesses, and at Love's bid- 
ding, tarried for a short space of time upon 
your earth plane, repeating to the world 
again and again, those messages of Eternal 
Truth, that have again come to the earth, 
that Truth that has partly failed in its mis- 
sion, or seemingly failed, thru the ignorance 
and wilfulness of humanity. When that 
Christ said: "I am the Resurrection and 
the Life," He gave out a Truth that the 
world as yet has not understood. In saying 
He himself was the Resurrection, He meant 
that He was only performing the laws of 
nature or representing them. He Himself 
was but a symbol of risen life, expressed 
thru the material man. But nature, since 
man knew nature, has ever been expressing 
resurrection or arisen Life. Your earth 
plane, since formed out of the mind of the 
Great Intelligence, has and will ever be cov- 
ered with forms of vegetation and expresses 
by these forms of vegetation the continuity 



130 ACREDIOS 



of life. Symbolicly before your eyes every 
season it goes thru the process of seeming 
death and glorious resurrection. We see the 
leaves of the trees fall with the Autumn 
breezes, thru the long winter we see the limbs 
stand bare, stark and cold. If one would 
come to your earth plane, that knew not of 
the resurrection to come, they would say 
indeed that the greater part of your vege- 
tation was dead. Your trees are naked and 
frozen, your hills and valleys are bare and 
brown, seeming death broods over the 
world, but when the spring time comes, and 
the warm, golden, life giving rays from that 
Great Dynamic Center strikes upon your 
earth plane again at the proper angle, co- 
mingling with the rays of the love center 
Venus, then ye, who are mortals, behold the 
resurrection. All the world springs again 
into new beauty, and life again finds expres- 
sion in the green fields, the new leaved trees 
and the blooming flowers. This which is a 
natural law of your earth or material ex- 
pression, is one with the natural laws of 
Spiritual expression, and when He, The 
Holy One, said: "I am the Resurrection and 
the Life," He meant that He was to your 
jSoul (what the spring season is to your 
world. By the law of nature, things upon 



THE VEIL LIFTED 131 

the natural plane spring forth in the new 
life, and are ruled by an irrevocable law. 
Your Spiritual growth is ruled by this same 
law. "Verily, verily, I say unto you, if a 
man keep my sayings, my laws, he shall not 
see death, for I am the Resurrection and the 
Life." Do you, as mortal man, realize the 
Great Love, that caused this Perfected Soul 
to return, take upon Himself your material 
body, live again this narrow material life, 
He who had known for countless centuries 
the glories of the Spirit Realm? Do you 
realize the power of love to draw Him back, 
to live, and suffer and die and to be again 
resurrected, that men, through Him might 
live? That they might realize the truth of 
the continuity of life. Beautiful sacrifice, 
Thou Holy One, so misunderstood. Man, by 
misunderstanding your mission upon the 
earth, and his desire to lay his sins upon 
the innocent to escape just punishment by 
a blood sacrifice, has indeed darkened the 
way and caused countless sufferings. Come 
back, oh weary ones, come back to the light. 
Know Him as He is, not a bleeding sacrifice, 
but a glorified love Principle that came back 
to this dark Star of Sorrow, to bear the 
torch of progression, to light the way that 
Souls of men might not be lost in the wilder- 
ness of material things. 



Message No. 36 

Jupiter the Center of Thought and Power 
Emanations 



MESSAGE NO. 36. 

My beloved: I would carry you away to- 
day into a center of force and power, away 
to that great planet Jupiter, the center of 
the thought and power force emanations 
that cover your earth. When this tiny 
earth upon which you live was first formed 
into a solid body, as you know it, it was far 
away in the back-waters of universal ex- 
pression, and the vibrations coming from it 
met the lower vibrations of the mighty 
Jupiter. Therefore the Mighty Intelligence 
first breathed in the vegetables, and your 
earth plane became one jungle of mighty 
trees, whose giant trunks and great leaves 
and mighty heights you of the earth plane 
could scarcely conceive of today. Those 
great force vibrations coming from the 
glorious Jupiter, could only touch with its 
power that which was upon your earth plane 
at that time, hence those mighty forests and 
giant fern trees that the Great Intelligence 
first brought forth, preparing that planet, 
that He might there later plant the Soul- 
seed of man-consciousness, and then the 
First Great Cause moved upon the earth, 



136 AC RE DI OS 



and animal life came forth to inhabit those 
mighty forests. Your earth in its evolution 
had moved a little closer to the center of all, 
and the powerful building vibrations from 
the glorious Jupiter now placed its imprint 
upon the animal kingdom, and gigantic ani- 
mals of the past ages came forth. Animals 
so large and mighty, that today it seems to 
your intellect to be unbelievable. Then the 
Great Intelligence came forth to live upon 
the earth plane, and was expressed in man- 
kind. The vibrations from Jupiter en- 
wrapped this first man and he was in his 
beginning a great and mighty creature, with 
an intelligence scarcely above the animal. It 
was then that Soul evolution began, under 
the supervision of that Great and Mighty 
Intelligence that rules the universe. And 
as your planet was drawn closer to the light, 
the vibrations were changed from the physi- 
cal to the intellectual. This change did not 
occur in a short space of time, but covered 
many centuries, and now the power coming 
from Jupiter is influencing the Spiritual 
and intellectual propensities of mankind. It 
is from that planet Jupiter that the power 
and thought force comes that has made pos- 
sible upon your earth plane the great ad- 
vancements of inventions and great ma- 



THE VEIL LIFTED 137 

terial progression. It has builded your 
mighty bridges; has erected your wonderful 
buildings; has spanned your seas; it has 
created your mighty engines; it has con- 
quered the air around your earth plane. It 
is here upon the planet Jupiter that all the 
great intellects of all time, who desire to 
build for the good of humanity, will sooner 
or later, after their Astral experiences are 
done, find themselves pausing to take their 
one day's rest (as things are counted in 
eternity) before they go out to greater 
things, things so mighty, so stupendous 
and wonderful, that it would be useless for 
me to try to explain them. But while they 
pause here they send back in thought ser- 
vice, help to the earth plane. And it is from 
this great Jupiter that all the good and 
great things come, that advance men ma- 
terially upon your earth plane. And this 
great planet Jupiter played a great part in 
evolving your earth planet from the gaseous 
matter into its present plane of evolution. 
But let not you of the earth plane become 
conceited and think that these mighty plan- 
ets in your Solar System are entirely for 
your benefit. They are merely sub-stations 
through which the Mighty Intelligence 
sends forth a constant stream of evolution- 



138 ACREDIOS 



ary light, that touches countless of millions 
of planets in this great and mighty universe. 
Life is. Life is limitless. There is no be- 
ginning nor any ending. There is no void. 
Everywhere, at all time, there is a vibrant 
throbbing life expression. Life is, God is, 
and there is nothing else besides Him. 



MESSAGE NO. 37. 

My beloved: I have not visited you of 
late for two reasons. I have been elected to 
bring messages to you, or to bring through 
to you experiences, out of the lower Astral 
realm. As you will understand, my beloved, 
I passed through these experiences cen- 
turies ago, and in my upward progression 
the reality of them had almost passed from 
my consciousness. For that reason I was 
sent back again that I become more alive to 
these things, in order to more fully impress 
them upon you. I will tell you one of my 
recent experiences. There passed from your 
earth plane but a few hours ago (as you 
count them) an aged mother, who had 
served faithfully without compensation 
many years. The wealth of the world had 
not been hers. Her hands were toil-worn 
and knotted from faithful service. Her last 
years had not been happy, for she had out- 
grown her usefulness. She had been ill for 
some time, and her passing was a relief to 
those about her. When her Soul separated 
from her body and awoke to consciousness 
upon the Astral plane it was as if a little 



140 ACREDIOS 



frightened child had awakened in a strange 
place. She awoke with her body a-tremble, 
her toil-worn hands clasped in fright. We 
could not reach her, owing to the emana- 
tions surrounding her newly awakened con- 
sciousness. We could only stand aside, 
sending her vibrations of love and sym- 
pathy. But very directly there began to 
fall about her the things that she had cre- 
ated while living on the earth plane. These 
little light forms began falling upon her 
like a gentle rain or like a shower of rose 
petals. These were little deeds of kindness; 
kind thoughts of help and sympathy; mo- 
ments of gentleness; hours of kindly pa- 
tience; faithfulness and unselfish service 
given out through a long life of thoughtful- 
ness for others. Oh, how they touched the 
care-worn brow with comfort. In this hour 
of her awakening they fell until they nearly 
buried her in their beauty, and then there 
called to us out of the silence a voice, "Lead 
her on." Gently we clasped the care-worn 
hands and upward we led her along that 
road builded by unselfishness, truth and 
purity. The light of a great golden love fell 
around her, and out of this love came he 
whom she had loved most of all, her fresh- 
hearted, sturdy young son, that had been 



THE VEIL LIFTED 141 

sacrificed upon the altar of greed and 
crushed out in the flower of his manhood, 
under the wheels of modern war chariots, 
sent forth by ye people, who pretend to 
follow the Christ. But even here upon 
the low Astral plane, those who have 
served faithfully and served rightly, are 
free from the damning influence of evil, 
greed and hate. Try, my beloved, to 
picture the joy of that meeting. And they 
went onward together, clasping hands 
out on that wider plane of Soul expression 
where love rules supreme, and where the 
things that make the sorrow of your earth 
plane cannot come, there to take up and live 
the new expression of life, knowing joy in 
its fullness and love in its allness. As 
he led her along, his fresh young face shin- 
ing with joy and love, she began to bloom 
in the love consciousness, and the things of 
the earth fell away. Her faded locks be- 
came shimmering silver, the wrinkled old 
face took on a look that as not of the earth, 
but fresh and smooth as a rose leaf. Her 
badge of servitude on her hands was laid 
aside forever. Now, we will leave them in 
peace together, out in that realm where love 
is truth, and truth is love. The Master said : 
"In My Father's house are many man- 



142 ACREDIOS 



sions," and they are dwelling there. That 
is one of the experiences that I have recent- 
ly enjoyed. There are others, but my Med- 
ium must rest now. 



M essage No. 38 

A Lesson From a Life of Selfishness 



MESSAGE NO. 38. 

My beloved, I bring to you tonight a mes- 
sage, or mind picture, that is not nearly so 
pleasant as the one that I brought through 
this morning. I have shown you the life of 
one who had lived a life of unselfishness and 
unselfish service. Now I will show you the 
picture of one that had lived a life for self. 
Beautiful she was, as earth counts beauty, 
surrounded by all that the earth could give 
in wealth. Out into the Astral she went 
quickly, to awaken in utter bareness. All 
that her wealth had given was forever taken 
away. She was first conscious of a terrible 
loneliness. There stretched away before 
her a long road, barren and cold, and as she 
made her way over the stones, those creat- 
ures of her own creating began to surround 
her. There were bat-like creatures, which 
were forms of selfishness; there were creat- 
ures that wound about her feet, like venom- 
ous snakes; there were lie forms, things that 
she had spoken falsely against others; there 
were ugly creatures, creeping forms, that 
were created by her greed thoughts; and 
there came those horrible vampires, creat- 



146 ACREDIOS 



ures builded out of her lust. The sky was 
cold and lowering; there was no golden light 
there, but a greenish, unearthly glare. 
These lust vampires rushed by her, shriek- 
ing in the wind, clawing at her body with 
their talon-like hands. These creatures at- 
tracted other entities, like themselves, until 
the earth and the air seemed filled with the 
horror of them. As she stumbled blindly 
on the way grew darker, away in the hori- 
zon towards which she was moving, were 
what appeared to her to be flames of fire. 
Crying out in fear and agony she would 
have returned had she been able, but she 
was compelled to go forward into these 
flames, that she had created. For it was in 
this fire that the dross of the Soul must be 
burned out. While loving entities hovered 
about her they could not help her, for she 
stood before the great law of cause and 
effect, that balances the universe. For verily 
that which is sown must be reaped. I will 
not follow her further, my beloved, for I 
have no desire to bring pictures of fear to 
the people of the earth plane. Far more 
would I bring pictures of love and light; but 
in some manner must I strive to impress 
upon the people of the earth plane that 
there is no manner in all God's universe by 



THE VEIL LIFTED 147 

which you can escape the law of cause and 
effect. Your Great Prophet has said: " Those 
that are evil, will still be evil; those that are 
unkind, will still be unkind, and those that 
are filthy, will still be filthy." We upon 
this side of life realize the meaning of those 
prophesies. I then saw another creature of 
the earth plane only just this moment strug- 
gling in the toils of his own cruelties. On 
the earth plane he called himself the owner 
of a draught animal, a poor, blind, crippled 
starveling. This man with his superior 
intelligence seemed to delight in inflict- 
ing cruelties upon this dumb, helpless 
creature. I dread to paint the picture of 
that which he is reaping. Now if you could 
see him as I see him, stumbling on in his 
blindness, filled with the unspeakable terror 
of the unseen things about him, and sudden- 
ly he falls down and writhes in maddened 
pain because he feels, or thinks that he 
feels, a terrible beating inflicted upon him. 
In his blindness he will stumble against 
something that he thinks stands in his way, 
and he will claw about, searching here and 
there for something that he may devour. 
For in the terrible thought forms that he 
has created, he is suffering all the pangs of 
hunger that he himself inflicted upon the 



148 ACREDIOS 



helpless. How long lie shall writhe in this 
mental hell I am unable to say; but this I 
know, he will remain here until he has paid 
the debt in full. These are terrible pictures 
that I am showing you, my beloved. I am 
showing you the most terrible as I have 
shown you the most beautiful. Between the 
two there are many shadings, and many 
grades of expressions. For every creature 
coming from the earth plane brings with 
him that which he himself has builded. I 
would like to write this in letters of fire 
upon the heart of every human creature. I 
am not telling you this that the world may 
fear, but I am striving to impress you that 
the Great Master spoke truly when He said: 
' ' That not even a sparrow f alleth, unless it 
be known to the Father.' Oh, people of the 
world, beware of cruelty, of selfishness, lies 
and greed, for they do indeed bring their 
hells, and that hell is indeed dark and ter- 
rible, and in some cases they are ages burn- 
ing out. Do not think that when you put 
aside that which was taught of hell by the 
churches, that you can or will escape pun- 
ishment for the misdeeds done while in the 
body. For that which is unclean cannot 
enter the Realm of Purity. But bear in 



THE VEIL LIFTED 149 

mind that man punishes himself, for he but 
reaps that which he has sown. The Medium 
is going. 



MESSAGE NO. 39. 

Oh, my beloved, I am striving tonight to 
impress upon the people of the earth plane 
how unlimited is the Arc of Progression for 
those that are the Sons of God. As I have 
said before, this planet, where you are ex- 
isting today, is the seed-bed of your Solar 
Universe, as you know it. But when the 
Soul, that is propagated here, swings out 
upon its Arc of Progression, if it might cast 
aside every experience for its advancement 
and wing its way out to the farthermost star 
that you earth people know of, it would find 
itself there in a universe that reaches out 
and out, millions of countless miles be- 
yond. Then, if it should go out again to 
the very rim of this universe, it would only 
be to find itself again in the center of a vast 
out-reaching realm of worlds. I am striving 
to impress upon you that there is no limit 
to that First Cause and its creation. And 
this great universe, as far as I have been 
able to fathom it, is inter-dependent. The 
vibrations from one planet or one world 
touching and bringing forth the perfection 
of another, and each and every one of these 



THE VEIL LIFTED 1JI 

planets are teeming with life. They are 
moving from one plane of existence to an- 
other in their progression, all fitting in and 
depending upon one another. My dwelling 
place at the present time is out upon the 
horizon of what seems to you your Solar 
System. My guide tells me that after I have 
passed this place in my Soul's expression, I 
will no longer be able to reach back to the 
earth plane. I have reached the Heights 
and will not be able to go down the valleys 
on this side again. I have, however, the 
privilege of remaining here as long as I 
desire. As yet I feel that I have not wiped 
out every transgression. But in the name 
of the Great Intelligence, I am striving to 
undo the effect of my false teachings while 
upon the earth plane. There are many Souls 
with me in this Council Chamber tonight, 
that out of their long and many experiences 
through which they have passed since leav- 
ing the earth plane, are sending back with 
all the strength of their Souls, vibrations of 
love and helpfulness and light to you strag- 
glers down there on the seed-bed of the solar 
universe. Oh, people upon that Star of Sor- 
row, lift your faces up to us, let love and 
justice be made manifest among you. Open 
your hearts that the Spiritual waters may 



152 ACREDIOS 



be poured out upon you, and strive to real- 
ize your grand eternal part in the Great 
Eternal Allness of All Things. Lift your 
faces to the light, and strive daily to do the 
will of Thy Father, letting the seed of Truth 
develop within you which is The Christ. Ye 
can make yourselves happy, healthy and 
prosperous in that expression that you are 
now living in, And when you have passed 
beyond the border, you can prepare your 
consciousness by purification and elimina- 
tion of evil until you can escape all the un- 
pleasant experiences in the Astral. You 
may go forth from the earth plane to live 
your thousand years of peace, surrounded 
and nourished by vibrations of eternal love, 
for the emanations that spring forth from 
the Eternal All reach down even to the seed- 
bed and touch the Soul of man in this ex- 
pression. And wherever that love touches, 
it purifies the material, brings the body into 
harmony and health, and changes the en- 
vironment of fear and worry to one of pros- 
perity and peace. Oh, children of the earth 
plane, wander no longer in the wilderness, 
eating the husks of the material things, but 
realize your allness and begin living your 
heaven now. Good night. 



MESSAGE NO. 40. 

My beloved, I am glad to greet you again 
tonight. I have not of late been able to 
break thru the vobrations of ill health that 
have surrounded the Medium. However, 
conditions are growing better, and we will 
be able to continue with the work that we 
are doing. I have no especial message to- 
night, though I would speak to you of going 
away. The choice of your going I leave with 
you. I have not as yet been able to find an- 
other Medium through whom I could work, 
and your separation from this Medium will 
probably cause a long break. When you are 
older and have more physical strength, I 
will control you. I have striven hard to 
bring it about, but I cannot now. I would 
say to you tonight in passing that there are 
troublesome times coming upon the nation 
in which you now dwell. There are count- 
less entities that went out in hate and anger 
in the last war, that are still living in the 
very atmosphere with the people of the 
earth plane, They do not realize that they 
have passed through the change called 
death, and they are still raging about, seek- 



154 ACREDIOS 



ing that which they may destroy, and are 
drawnig many of the vicious elementals out 
of the Astral to aid them in their endeavors. 
And still another aid is going up from the 
hearts of the people, you especially of the 
western coast of your nation, are sending 
thoughts of hate to the brown man of the 
East. The predominant factor in that hate 
is greed, and by these very thoughts of hate 
and greed you are bringing to yourselves 
that which you are striving to, or think you 
are striving to, put aside. Do you not recog- 
nize, oh, people of the earth plane, that ma- 
terial evolution has ever been a mighty 
wheel ? That wheel goes round bearing one 
nation to its height, when that nation has 
flourished for a time, its Spiritual light 
grows dim, and covered with its own iniqui- 
ties, it sinks down into an abyss of its own 
false beliefs, and disintegrates. But while it 
is going down the nation on the other side of 
the wheel is rising up, has its place in the 
sun for a short hour and then it too goes 
down. Thus nation after nation has arisen 
and fallen, since man began his earth expres- 
sion. Less than a century ago you of the 
white race, sent your mighty warboats into 
the ports of the little brown people and 
forced them to open their doors of commerce 



THE VEIL LIFTED 155 

to the world. It had been many centuries 
since the yellow race had their space of 
time in the sun. And you are the nation 
that started them upward in their material 
progression. And you opened a door that 
you can never close. You have started on 
an upward and outward course a nation that 
will expand and spread over the entire earth 
plane. They will in time invade every peo- 
ple and every nation and when you send 
thoughts of hate out against them, you are 
only adding fuel to the flame. And it is the 
thought vibrations of the middle class that 
will save you from despair. If you would 
as a people cover the world with vibrations 
of love and strive to realize that you are all 
children of one Father and constantly send- 
ing out vibrations of love and justice you 
would stem the tide of hate and turmoil that 
these entities so close to the earth plane are 
striving so hard to bring about. Again I 
say to you, "Why will you bring about this 
tragedy by hate? Why will you not co- 
operate with that which is all good instead V 9 
Oh, people of the world, how much longer 
must you suffer before ye understand? Can- 
not these powers of good upon this side of 
life get the message through? We are tell- 
ing you again to think thoughts of love. Let 



156 AC RE DI OS 



your thoughts of charity and justice be as 
the wideness of the sea. Be not citizens of 
a nation, but citizens of a world. Strive to 
live in peace with one another. Think not 
of worldly possessions, but of Soul progres- 
sion. In this I am giving no new command, 
neither am I giving all the commands that 
are coming from the Council Chamber. 
Thousands of message bearers are reaching 
your earth plane in this age, each one, as 
strangers from a far country, bringing to 
the earth plane that which has been his in- 
dividual experiences. For even out here on 
the Astral, we learn little save by expe- 
riences, and we do not meet with any great 
change when we come out here, for we begin 
just where we left off in the material, and 
if the messages we bring do not seem always 
to conform one with another, remember that 
most likely each comes from a different 
plane of expression, and if he be truthful, 
can bring only that which he knows to be 
true. And I say, "if he be truthful," for 
there are elementals that bring messages 
that are not true. It is only by careful per- 
ception and discrimination and judgment 
that you of the earth plane may sift the true 
from the false. Another confusing fact is 
that in a seance room, when you go to meet 



THE VEIL LIFTED 157 

those who have departed through the por- 
tals of death, you do not always see them as 
you expected. Frequently, a beautiful Soul 
on the earth has inhabited an ugly body; 
therefore when the Medium strives to build 
up the image, she will with the eyes of the 
Soul discern the Soul beauty, and she brings 
to your view a beautiful creature that you 
do not recognize. On the other hand, a Soul 
on the earth plane may inhabit a beautiful 
body and yet the Soul be narrow with sel- 
fishness and greed, and again as the uncon- 
scious Medium built up from the Soul force, 
she would bring back this unbeautiful Soul, 
when you looked for a beautiful body. Then 
again, there are deceitful Mediums, striving 
to bring forth some entity for the sake of 
payment, and who because of her unright- 
eous life is unable to go far enough out in 
the World of Souls to bring real entities 
back to the earth plane, draws from the 
Astral mere shells that have long been de- 
serted, and she may by sending her thought 
vibrations out to the shell, galvanize it for 
the moment into life, and make it appear to 
be a true Spiritual Materialization. There- 
fore, it behooves the people of the world, to 
use great care and strive by every power 
to know the honesty of the Medium, and 



158 AC RE DI OS 



verily, verily, bitter is the reward of these 
deceitful Mediums. For ages they will be 
living entities, moving to and fro among 
these dead shells that will cling to them like 
ghostly barnacles, till they are indeed weary 
of their deceit. As I said to you before, I 
have no especial message tonight, but I am 
talking to you of the things that are close 
to you on the earth plane, for I cannot draw 
the Medium far out into the Astral. I will 
let her rest now, until I can control her 
better. 



MESSAGE NO. 41. 

My beloved, you have been somewhat dis- 
turbed of late by the conditions surround- 
ing you. We, from this side of life, could 
no more prevent these things than a chemist, 
working in your laboratories on the earth 
plane, could prevent the fermentation of 
two chemicals of opposite substance, when 
they are cast together. In making your 
rich and potent wines, the grapes are first 
crushed and cast into a vat. This crushing 
brings about a state of fermentation. There 
are many dregs that settle to the bottom, 
and there is a great chemical disturbance 
going on. But unless that which is not good 
is separated from that which is all good 
there would be no pure wine. The moment 
ye of the earth plane go forth into the wine- 
press of Spiritual desire and begin to crush 
out that which pertain to the material 
things, earth earthy, most surely you may ex- 
pect a fermentation. The boiling and stirring 
up is bound to take place, that the pure may 
be separated from the impure, and this fer- 
mentation draws about you more or less mis- 
chievous elementals, and unless you very 



160 ACREDIOS 



carefully keep yourselves in a vibration of 
love, unless you constantly bridle your 
tongue, and your thoughts, unless you strive 
to hold yourself in the highest Spiritual 
vibration, the Soul-self within you is liable 
to be touched, in a greater or lesser degree, 
by these disturbing elements. And yet 
these are the tests of the Soul. Could man's 
material muscle grow strong without exer- 
cise ? Could you expect to lay the Soul upon 
a bed of flowers and there leave it to work 
out its highest expression ? My beloved, 
nowhere is there progression without expe- 
riences. But the Soul may be brave and yet 
not deeply touched by these experiences. 
And yet may draw from them the lessons 
that tend to bring about Soul's progression. 
There is no advancement except there be 
an urge that causes this advancement or 
progression. Evil is bound to take a last 
stand, and the separation of the good from 
the evil is bound to bring about a fermenta- 
tion or stirring up. As gold is purified by 
fire, so the Soul is purified by experiences, 
and there is no other way. I will speak no 
more of this subject, for I feel you under- 
stand, and please impress this message upon 
the Medium, that this message is for both 
of you, and for whoever else may read this. 



THE VEIL LIFTED 161 

And again I would speak to you, my be- 
loved, in regard to the things you have been 
saying and thinking, about getting these 
messages before the world. I am impres- 
sing each one to do his work at the time that 
it should be done. I am drawing the forces 
about you to bring through what should be 
done. I believe that your Soul and the Soul 
of the Medium are strong enough to bear 
that which I have to say. First, I will say 
that you are proceeding just as I would have 
you proceed, for you are working under my 
guidance, and I am telling you here what 
you will have to expect. As the book goes 
forth into the world, there will be much 
criticism; both you and the Medium will re- 
ceive many unkind letters. Many creeds 
of the world will strive to repudiate these 
words of truth. But I will tell you now 
that it will be translated into seven (7) 
languages, and I must warn you carefully, 
to beware of the world's goods that will 
come to you through it, and I bid you not to 
look upon it as yours and yours alone, for 
remember, if we upon this side of life had 
not striven to get through, these messages 
would never have been received by either 
you or the Medium. Therefore, when the 
good begins to flow back to you, only take 



162 ACREDIOS 



from it that which you need and then let it 
flow out again into the world in charity and 
good deeds. I would have you ease the pain 
of the world; I would have you feed those 
that are spiritually hungry; I would have 
you with that wealth take care of my chil- 
dren, and for God's sake do not do as I did 
when I lived upon the earth plane. Do not 
hoard your wealth, but give and give and 
give, that ye may not suffer the remorse that 
I have suffered. Do not come out upon this 
side of life with a starved and empty Soul. 
And as the book goes forth, let no sense of 
greed, injustice, or unkindliness in any way 
bring to bear upon it vibrations that will 
darken its beauty. Bear in mind that you 
are co-workers and deal lovingly and justly 
with one another. And when you do this, 
you are helping me more than you can real- 
ize. Oh, my heart goes out in great thank- 
fulness to that Great Intelligence, that I 
have been able to reach back to the world 
through two faithful workers, and I am im- 
pressing another to do his part in bringing 
forth the messages. I have selected him be- 
cause he is worthy. I hope you are pleased 
with my selection. My Medium is hard to 
hold. Good-night. 



MESSAGE NO. 42. 

My beloved, you have heard it said upon 
your earth plane that self-preservation is 
the first law of nature, and in the search 
thru every strata of evolution every creat- 
ure is striving to preserve life, striving to 
express its particular kind and to keep that 
expression from being touched by death. 
And man, the dominating species in life 
expression, also seeks to retain that which 
to him seems or is, life. Your churches have 
sent forth the mandate that he who takes 
his own life be damned, and they dare to say 
he is damned by the Heavenly Father. They 
have put forth the theory that a God that 
is Love, hates unto damnation, that a God 
who is the source of all life allows His earth 
expression to be damned and destroyed, and 
tortures the Soul thus flung out of its ma- 
terial expression. And that playing with 
a force, as little children, play with forces 
they do not understand, and those others 
that stand forth as judges, casting upon the 
earth plane the shadow of a monster God, 
they and these have done their part to hurl 
that soul out of its rhythm. And every Soul 



164 ACREDIOS 



upon the earth plane that has sent out vibra- 
tions of Hate, Malice and Greed has done 
its part also to uproot a Soul before it had 
the chance to fulfill its earth expression. 
For every Soul that blots out material ex- 
pression by its own hand places upon every 
Soul in the world a certain amount of blood 
guiltiness. For ye of the earth plane have 
builded a social condition, you have builded 
a system of buying and selling, you have 
made the conditions so horrible, that were 
it not for the constant work of love that we 
are doing upon this side of life, more dazed 
and unbalanced Souls would be flung out 
than are now. And together, with your 
cruel social system, your money greed, your 
churches supposing to represent the Hea- 
venly Father, have filled the earth with fear. 
These poor crushed Souls find consolation 
nowhere. They are flung aside, starved 
spiritually, trampled upon and crushed out, 
by those who are created to represent Love. 
When these Souls fling away their material 
expression and come out to us, they are hard 
to place, and while we are willing to help 
them, they must indeed suffer greatly be- 
fore they swing back into their rhythm and 
again fill their niche in Soul progression. 
And, as I have said before, they are not 



THE VEIL LIFTED 165 

alone to blame, and they will not suffer 
alone, for as you have measured to the least 
of these children of thy Father, so it will 
be measured to you again, for you by the 
thoughts that ye think, are responsible for 
every evil, every suicide, all poverty and all 
disease that find temporary expression upon 
your earth plane today. But bear in mind, 
little children, when the light cometh, the 
darkness goeth. Would you this day take 
an instrument of death in thy hand and with 
it destroy the material expression of a Soul? 
And yet you hold within yourselves an in- 
strument more deadly than any of steel or 
iron, Thought Force, a thought force that 
destroys or uplifts, and beware that ye 
watch each hour that ye send not forth 
such thoughts as will cause some unbalanced 
fellow creature to be flung out of his rhythm 
and cast forth to suffer because you, your- 
self have been evil. For do you not know 
by your own experience that it is hard to be 
of good cheer and courage when thoughts of 
evil are cast against you u ? And as some ex- 
press a lesser degree of God than others, 
that is, the materialization of Spirit thru 
Matter does not shine forth so strongly, is it 
not well that those manifesting a higher 
vibration of Spirit, seek always to uplift 



166 ACREDIOS 



and not to destroy? And if you would not 
destroy, do not send forth thoughts that DO 
destroy. And when the light has come to 
you and you still persist in sending forth 
destructive thought forms on the Eternal 
ethers, do you think you will be held guilt- 
less by that ever present Law of Cause and 
Effect that weighs and balances every 
thought in the scales of Justice? And the 
people of the world as a mass will suffer as 
a mass for this temporary unbalancing of 
the individual. And to all to whom the 
knowledge hath come, let your light shine 
before the face of all men. Send rays of 
encouragement to those who are in need of 
it, strive to bring understanding to those 
that fear; hold the veil apart that the light 
may fall upon tired hearts of the earth, and 
pray that in time that light may fall upon 
every man that cometh into the world. For 
when the Light cometh, the darkness goeth, 
and where God is evil cannot be. 



Message No. 43 

The Watchword of God's Universe is 
Service 



MESSAGE NO. 43. 

My beloved, we are striving so hard from 
this side of life to reach your little planet 
with love. We are so much interested in 
this planet, for while it is younger than 
some of the other planets in your Solar Sys- 
tem, it is the first dwelling place of a race 
that has gone forth to inhabit the larger 
planets, and as I have said before, it is the 
seed-bed of your Solar System. And it is 
for this reason that it has been watched over 
with such interest. And it is indeed at this 
moment being watered with Spiritual wat- 
ers, that the Soul propagated here may go 
out strong and well nourished. And the 
time has come when many Souls leaving the 
earth plane will not be compelled to tarry 
long in the Astral planes. And we are so 
glad to see this number increasing, as time 
goes on. And let me say to every Medium 
in the world tonight that this is not the hour 
to linger over trivial things. And no Med- 
ium can pray too much. Only a life of 
purity, lived faithfully and conscientiously, 
can bring to mankind that which the Father 
desireth that ye have. And I would say 



170 ACREDIOS 



here that we are not striving to set up thru 
Medium-ship a mediator between the Son 
and his Father, for there is no privileged 
class, that has a right to stand between G-od 
and his Son. And every Soul that is born 
of the Father is a medium. It has the Divine 
right to go directly to the Father. But this 
going to the Father means praying prayers 
of realization. It means going into the sil- 
ence and closing the doors upon all material 
things, and praying to the Father in secret, 
knowing that He will bestow all gifts. All 
that thy Father has is thine. But verily, 
there must be leaders and teachers, but be- 
ware that the blind strive not to lead the 
blind, lest all go out in darkness together. 
Those who act as Mediums cannot be too 
careful of every word and deed and thought, 
for there is no greater service that can be 
given to humanity than to live a life so 
pure, so truthful, and so earnest that one 
can go forward and lift the veil, that those 
that are crying in darkness may look out 
upon the glorious light in the Realms of 
Spirit. Oh, that the Mediums of the world 
would teach the people aright and bring 
them to a realization of the vibrations they 
send forth and the mighty power of them. 
Make them realize, my beloved, by thoughts 



THE VEIL LIFTED 171 

of purity and prayer they can reach out into 
the dark Astral belt around them, and help 
to lift those wretched earth bound Souls out 
of a veritable hell, that they can by thought 
and prayer build mansions for themselves 
and their loved ones out in the realm of 
Spirit, where God Is Love and Love Is God. 
Strive to make them see that they are all 
inter-dependent, that no Soul from the 
highest to the lowest is standing alone, and 
the watch- word of all God's Universe is 
SERVICE. To love and uplift one another 
is the greatest thing of any that the human 
race can do, and the vibrations of true love 
sent forth upon the earth plane flings a 
golden ray far out beyond the stars. And 
while man goes on and through his different 
experiences, a tender, loving Father broods 
over all, and man has nothing to fear but his 
own misdeeds. And it is by the power of 
Love that the vast universe is held together, 
and without this great love there could be 
nothing. And without love man cannot 
express himself. Oh, people of the world, 
draw unto yourselves all that you may of 
this great love, and strive to become a re- 
ceiving station and a sending-out station of 
this great vibration of Love. Oh, that the 
hearts of the world might beat in unison, 



172 ACREDIOS 



pulsating love, love, love. If every man and 
every woman upon the earth plane tonight 
would kneel for just a few hours and let 
very heart beat vibrate love, all the evil, all 
the misery, all the poverty would drop from 
your earth plane like a worn-out garment, 
and all would advance millions of years 
toward that great vibrating center of all 
LOVE. 



MESSAGE NO. 44. 

My beloved, I would say to the children 
of the world tonight, that they are grasping 
the hem of the garments of Wisdom, with 
weak hands. But that you stretch your 
hands forth at all, means you are growing be- 
yond the material, and it is not well that you 
be given all wisdom as yet, for ye are but as 
little children. In these messages I do not 
strive to bring forth great philosophy, for 
I am not striving to reach great intellects, 
but I am striving to reach those that mean 
so much in the Father's household. And if 
I may inspire these hearts with love, and 
bring the realization to them of their Son- 
ship, and overshadow them with the Over- 
soul of God, if I can impress them with the 
power of their own thoughts, and bring 
them to know their importance in the Great 
Scheme of Things, as it is worked out by 
the Great Intelligence, I will have accom- 
plished, at least in part, the work I was 
bidden to do. And I would have you realize 
tonight the place your own little planet 
takes in the Scheme of Things. I would 
have you remember that only a few months 



174- ACREDIOS 



ago (as we count time) the planet upon 
which you live was mere star-dust, an un- 
formed void, a world yet unborn. Then, 
forced out of that great Cosmic Whole, 
emerged new Souls, crying for individual 
expression. And the Great Over-soul 
spake thus, "Out of Myself shall go a new 
race of Souls, to express themselves, for 
these Souls I must create a dwelling place." 
And he breathed upon the void and it be- 
came a world. Gradually it grew to be the 
proper inhabitation for these Souls going 
out in expression from the Father. Then 
He said, ' ' Go forth, my children, out to this 
planet that I have prepared for you, to live 
out your individual expression thru count- 
less experiences. I, the Father of All, will 
overshadow you, but as you have chosen to 
go forth, you never can return to this 
Eternal Harmony that is in the midst of the 
Everlasting All, until you have brought this 
part of Me that you are taking with you 
thru all the experiences that are needed in 
your evolution of individual Soul expres- 
sion. ' ' Thus man was born. And as that race 
of men and that world went forth to express 
itself individually, so are there at this mo- 
ment countless other worlds being born, and 
countless other races who are the Sons of 



THE VEIL LIFTED 175 

God, and who are springing forth from the 
God-head, to express themselves, and all of 
these countless worlds from the moment of 
their birth are inter-dependent one upon 
the other, from the highest to the lowest, 
just as these worlds which were born count- 
less of millions of ages before your world are 
sending back their vibrations to uplift you, 
so are you sending your vibrations back to 
the new-born worlds to do your part in 
helping them to progress towards perfec- 
tion. Tonight, as I came down towards 
your Earth, and met the vibrations of evil, 
greed and material darkness with which 
your world is enveloped, I felt for a moment 
a great vibration of sorrow, and then, with 
the eye of my Soul, I looked back down the 
line thru the ages. I saw the earth in its 
every stage of progression, I looked into the 
very cradle of the earth race, and I saw how 
you had gradually worked up thru your 
varied phases of material expression. I saw 
the race emerging from the terrible dark- 
ness of the middle ages ; I saw the terrible 
Wars; I saw the marching of the Crusad- 
ers; and stage by stage, little by little, I 
observed the upward growth; I saw how 
the little flames of light were springing here 
and there out of the terrible darkness; I 



176 ACREDIOS 



saw the ignorance, the superstition and 
fanaticism gradually fading; I saw every 
trial thru which the race passed, leaving it 
a little better, a little higher. Then I saw 
your world plunged in its last terrible war; 
I saw thousands of the human race all over 
the world kneeling in prayer, and a greater 
number than ever before were worshiping 
in Spirit and in Truth, were praying a 
prayer of understanding to a God that un- 
derstood. More of the human race than 
ever before were truly coming back to the 
Father, praying no longer to a Pagan God 
of blood sacrifice, but to a Father of Justice 
who is letting His children work out their 
own salvation, who is overshadowing them 
with Love and ready to answer every heart 
that truly calls. Then I saw the gates be- 
tween the known and the unknown that had 
only recently been set ajar, begin to open 
wider and wider. Those from both sides of 
the veil were stretching forth their hands, 
and true Spiritual wisdom began falling 
like rain upon the earth, and then my heart 
sent up a great vibration of joy, a great up- 
lifting vibration, for at last the veil was 
rent and the darkness could never fall 
again. Then a great sense of encourage- 
ment came over me, for mankind has indeed 



THE VEIL LIFTED 177 

advanced fast, so fast. Only a moment of 
time in Eternity, and yet the world is begin- 
ning to be flooded with Spiritual Wisdom. 
The Light has gone forth. The Darkness is 
rifted. 



MESSAGE NO. 45. 

Alzeeria: I come tonight in sadness. I 
am so because the Master is sad. I came 
down to you from my place of rest tonight. 
I found that He, too, was near you, for He 
is indeed loath to leave you. Go He must, 
there is so much to do. Then again my own 
heart was heavy, for again I have gone back 
to the place on the earth plane where I once 
lived. Woman of the world, have you ever 
beheld the moonlight on the desert? Do 
you know its still whiteness? Its terrible 
loneliness? And I walked there alone to- 
night, no more the High Priestess of the 
Temple of the Winged-Bull. For my tem- 
ple is crumbled and gone. There on that 
white, cold sand I was only little Alzeeria, 
and the earth seems to have no place for 
me; that is, no such place as I once had. No 
more upon the earth shall I go forth 
proudly, surrounded by slaves and guarded 
and attended. Once upon the earth plane 
my coming and going was a great event and 
attended by much ceremony, and now I am 
sent back again to live through you; to 



THE VEIL LIFTED 179 

share as I may your joys and sorrows. 
When asked if she was happy to come to 
earth and assist, "Not as happy as I am 
serving those temples in Spirit realms. 
But when my Master parts from His Soul- 
mate to serve, who am I, little Alzeeria, to 
rebel against service?" It is thus they 
break my pride, for I have always felt until 
tonight that I was still the Priestess of the 
Temple of the Winged Bull. I shall be with 
you in your work, for you are going out to 
greater things, and I will be the link that 
will bind you to Acredios during the rest 
of your incarnation, a fleet- winged and will- 
ing messenger. I will be back and forth be- 
tween thee and him. In your work, think 
not so much of self, for service means so 
much to the Master. Every upward step 
means a little nearer, a little closer to un- 
speakable joy. I, too, with the heart of a 
woman, understand these things, and I hope 
to be able to teach you many things. When 
you are parted from this medium I will 
come directly to you and will make you to 
know when I am with you. I go now, for 
the Master comes. 



Message No. 46 

The Master's Farewell 



MESSAGE NO. 46. 

My beloved, I am indeed tonight touched 
with a great sadness. Like the Master in 
the garden of Gethsemane, I am gathering 
ye who are my disciples together, and verily 
I do not know if I will speak again, for 
already the call has been sent out, calling 
me to other spheres of activity. It is but 
now that I have realized how much this has 
meant to me, coming in touch with you, 
only to go away to leave you here again, 
again. But as I have said to you before, 
the watch-word in the realm of Spirit is 
SERVICE, and it is only by serving lov- 
ingly and willingly that we may bring about 
the progression of all. There will be many 
comments upon these messages that I have 
sent thru; some will say they are but vain 
repetitions, but let them bear in mind that 
all God's Universe is full of repetitions. 
Are not all that love created, from the stars 
in the heavens to the sands on the shore, the 
same over and over? Are not all the les- 
sons in Nature repeated over and over 
again? Therefore, ye of the earth plane 
should not complain if I repeat my message 



184 ACREDIOS 



of Love over and over again. I am only 
striving to press home to their hearts that 
Love is eternal, and that only by Love shall 
man live. That Life IS, and man only by 
living rightly expresses life in its fullness. 
That God Is Love, and brings forth and ex- 
presses only that which Is Love, and by 
righteous living, Man, His Son, may come 
into the vibrations of this Love and live in 
Peace eternally. I have striven to teach 
simply, that the responsibility of man's 
progression lies within himself, and as an 
individual he may express that which he 
chooses, to live in the flesh will bring suffer- 
ing,to live for the Spiritual will bring Peace. 
For verily the Master spoke truly when He 
said, "For what profiteth a man if he gain 
a whole world, if he lose his own Soul?" I 
was in the midst of you tonight, when you 
spoke of preparing these messages to send 
them forth. You were asking among your- 
selves, "What shall we name themT YOU 
know how I have striven to make amends 
for mistakes and transgressions done while 
in the body. And while I do not command 
you, my beloved, I would be pleased if my 
name might be given them, at least as part 
of the title ; then have I not striven to hold 
"THE VEIL APART"? I leave it to your 



THE VEIL LIFTED 185 

consideration among yourselves, and re- 
member I will not leave you alone until 
these messages have gone forth, as we from 
the Council Chamber desire them to go 
forth. As I have drawn the forces about 
you before, then it was you and the Medium, 
now I'm wrapping three with my vibrations. 
I now have three disciples, each to do his 
part in the work. I command you in the 
name of Love each one to do your part to 
bring forth the work aright When the Great- 
est of Masters came to your earth plane and 
realized the hour of parting with his dis- 
ciples, He called them together and bade 
them love one another, to go forth and feed 
the sheep, that were astray. And this com- 
mandment that came from the Master, I 
your teacher give again unto thee, and while 
I shall leave Spiritual forces to guide you 
and while I am sad at this parting, I am 
glad to leave this Star of Sorrow, because 
even those from the higher realm cannot 
touch it without suffering more or less. I 
will rest and come again, for I am shaking 
the Medium so. When I left the Council 
Chamber tonight to come down to the earth 
plane I met and was accompanied by many 
anxious souls who were striving to com- 
municate with their loved ones on your 



186 ACREDIOS 



plane. As I came down that path of shin- 
ing star-dust, I saw among that numerous 
throng, a young girl. When she saw me 
she came to me and called me again and 
again: " Great Master, I have not long been 
out upon this side of life, and even now the 
memories of my sufferings upon the earth 
plane still cling to me, for there I was a 
pain-racked crippled child. When I came 
out to this side of Life, I was met imme- 
diately by forces of Love, Healing, and Ten- 
derness. These wonderful Angels of heal- 
ing seemed to know just where to touch my 
twisted body, and the radiations of Love 
coming forth from them touched my con- 
sciousness to perfection. And yet down 
there on that unforgotten plane many are 
suffering as I suffered. Can not I reach 
back to them and help a little to ease the 
pain in that sorrowful land?" She stood 
before me, her slender hands clasped on her 
heaving breast, a pleading desire to help 
and heal emanated from her in golden \ibra- 
tions. Had she come to me centuries ago I 
could not have brought to her that which 
she desired, but now I have earned the right 
to command them who desire to give their 
service. So I bid her come with me, and I 
brought her down to the earth and have 



THE VEIL LIFTED 18? 

shown her how to express herself thru my 
latest disciple. And if he will keep himself 
attuned to the great Love Force, born of the 
suffering of a noble Soul, he will be the 
earth instrument thru which great healing 
shall come to the world, especially to little 
children. Verily he shall lay his hands on 
them and they shall be healed, for there 
shall come to him, my disciple Raymer, thru 
this child Vivian a healing vibration that was 
perfected by Angels of healing on this side 
of Life. And I would have him know that 
one does not bring thru the healing vibra- 
tions of high Angels with unclean hands. 
Verily, thy Soul must go step by step up- 
ward to the temple of Purity, and be bathed 
in the vibrations of purest and highest love, 
if you would be the attuned instrument that 
will bring this great healing force into the 
world. O, if the eyes of the people of the 
earth could but see the throng of departed 
ones that come down with me to the earth 
tonight. That are pleading with me to let 
them reach their loved ones, striving so 
hard to get some little word thru that they 
are Not dead, that they are not shut away 
in a place of uselessness, but that they are 
living normal, useful, busy lives, and it is 
only the fact that the opportunities are 



188 ACREDIOS 



greater and their powers less limited, it is 
only this makes them realize that they have 
left the earth at all. Only this and the heart 
hunger and loneliness of being parted from 
their loved ones, and as fast as you of that 
plane of expression can be brought to the 
proper realization of the unreality of Death, 
there need be no separation. The Souls from 
this side of life do realize that they can call 
back across the border, but how can they 
reach you if you yourselves do not do your 
part to break down the material bars, and 
work intelligently with them to get the mes- 
sage thru, for no Soul no matter how willing 
can do the work of another, each and every 
one must do his part in bringing about the 
communication between the living and the 
so-called dead. That great prophet Paul 
when he spake to the people in olden times 
said: "The last enenr^ to overcome will be 
Death. ' ' DEATH IS BUT AN UNRE AL- 
IZING STATE OP CONSCIOUSNESS 
THAT DOES NOT YET KNOW THAT 
LIFE IS AND LIFE IS ETERNAL. 
Too long has the veil hung between, too long 
have the people of the earth plane spoken of 
and feared the unknown. Awake, oh, ye 
people of the earth plane and proclaim your- 
selves the Sons of God. Being the offspring 



THE VEIL LIFTED 189 

of All Intelligence, there is nothing that ye 
may not know, being the children of a God 
of Love. The bonds of love is not broken 
or separated, not in any realm where God 
is, and God is everywhere. Life up your 
Souls, oh, my people, go forth and five, ye 
sons of God, and know that ye are all one 
and that no veil hangs between. Put aside 
fear, material desire, and things that dark- 
en your sight and understanding. Lift your 
faces towards the light, that is falling upon 
the earth as the veil is rent apart. 

IT IS FINISHED 



MESSAGE NO. 47. 

The Final Message Prom Acredios To 
His Sole-mate, Elf rieda : 

Now my beloved I would speak to you 
alone. You know that I, as a warrior must 
go forth to service, just as I went before 
down there in our past incarnations. Then 
I went forth as an earth warrior, striving 
to do what then seemed my duty, and to 
give a certain service, tho ignorantly and 
fanatically, as I most fully realize it now, 
from this view-point of life expression. 
And now I go forth again to give a Spiritual 
service. And because of your moving about 
on the earth plane, I will not always be able 
to come in such close touch with you after 
you have become separated from this me- 
dium, unless I can find another that has her 
particular sensitive vibrations. But the 
separation will not be as it was in that City 
of Rome, ages ago, for I have learned my 
lessons well, and I realize that I can always 
be near you if I send forth the desire with 
the proper force. And now my beloved, 
since you have known that I am, and that 
I am ever desirous that the vibration shall 



THE VEIL LIFTED 191 

never again be broken between us, go thy 
way in joy, bearing ever in mind that the 
mansion that I have spoken of is now being 
builded, and glad preparations are now 
being made for the great hour of thy com- 
ing, when we shall again walk side by side, 
never to be parted again except by our 
mutual desire. When our love shall go 
forth from individual expression to find yet 
a greater joy in Universal Love Expression, 
and that shall not be separation, but an 
inter-blending, one with the other Perfect, 
Eternal, expressing all good, all joy, One 
with the Father. Your span of earth life 
reaches out for some time yet, or what will 
seem to you quite some time. In your 
seventy-fourth year, the ninth month and 
fourteenth day, just at midnight, the door 
of life shall again open unto you and we 
my beloved shall again be permitted to 
stand for the moment face to face. You 
will have this space of time in which to pre- 
pare for this joyous hour. The realm into 
which I shall be able to lead you will de- 
pend upon yourself. But I will speak this 
unto you truly. That I shall be able by 
the Power of Love to lead you thru and 
beyond the Astral into at least the border 



192 ACREDIOS 



land of the Spiritual Realm, and God grant, 
to a place in Summer-land where I may be 
in constant communion with you, and then 
some time, when all the experiences are 
past and every debt is paid in full, we shall 
then mount on golden wings, onward and 
upward, from joy world to joy world, we 
will swing in the rhythm of perfect har- 
mony. We will feel and know that pulsat- 
ing world where Love reigns supreme, 
where I am thine and thou art mine. Where 
Love Eternal finds Expression, Where 
LOVE IS GOD, AND GOD IS LOVE. 
There I shall meet you and keep you my 
Soul-mate, MY BELOVED.
